Oil on canvas

Donna studied at both College of Marin and Indian Valley College and received private instruction from local artists focusing on: life sculpture, bronze casting, oil painting, watercolor, drawing acrylics, pastel, wood block printing, etching, photography, ceramics and clay, cartooning, illustration, and botanical drawing. Donna sadly passed away during the Colors Exhibition.

A love for animals and nature keeps my interest in finding the ‘right’ medium for each subject. Pastels are the perfect way for me to capture an animal’s softness for pet portraits and use wonderful pure colors. Landscapes and seascapes call for using a variety of mediums depending on the story I want to tell. I also enjoy painting outdoors (plein air) throughout Marin using oil paints. In my studio I use a combination of different mediums.
