Donna has been fascinated by the sky since she was a child and it is this sky that immediately draws you into her work. Working with handmade pastels, in black and white as well as color, her images capture an exquisite light and atmosphere that set the tone for her work. The suggestion of landscape is more obvious than an actual place in her work, since each image is a combination of her imagination and actual photographs. Exploring contrast is very important to her, whether it is the contrast of the solid shoreline against the fluidity of water, or a strong mountain against an ever-changing sky she creates extremely dramatic and ethereal paintings.
