Artist Statement

Donna's lifetime love of fashion provides much of the creative inspiration for her paintings. She combines her passions of art and clothing in her works. Donna strives to transform the otherwise ordinary into her creative vision of what fashion means to her. She uses both brush work and palette knife to manipulate the oil paint and create unique texture on the canvas. She aims to portray the joy she feels for her work to the viewer and hopes her passion resonates in a special way. Donna enjoys living and painting in downtown Chicago.
