Donna has produced art her entire life. Her first art was done after she saw her first circus at five years old.
She came home and drew everything she could remember.
Donna is inspired by nature, her love for her husband, children, dog, dreams and the way light can transform a scene.
She paints and draws because it makes a connection and forms a relationship with what she sees or her
concept and the viewer.
At the present time she is working in oils, painting mainly still lifes. She also will paint in other media depending on the subject matter. The objects in her paintings relate to one another sometimes in a whimsical way.
When Donna first moved to Seattle in the 1970's, she worked at Seward Park Art Studio as the media librarian. Later, she worked as a graphic designer and had a successful mural business where she pained murals
for Microsoft, Group Health Hospital and View Ridge School, among others. For 20 years, she taught
elementary art in public and private school as well as youth programs at Gage Academy.
Donna lives in North East Seattle, is married and has two adult children.
