Artist
Biography
After
working in the corporate world for many years Donna took an early
retirement. In January 2007, she took
her first art class at Carroll Community College. She continued with private watercolor classes
with Felisa Flecker, workshops and classes with Tara Grim, Carolyn Seabolt,
Sarah Abel DeLuca, and Skip Lawrence.
Presently Donna enjoys abstract painting, using acrylics, collage and
mixed media with Ed Ramsburg, who continually encourages her to grow as an
artist.
She
has exhibited at Carroll County Community College – The Great Hall, Carroll
Life Gallery, Circuit Court Building, Carroll County Arts Council, Frederick
Arts Council (FAC), Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center (DVAEC), The
Artists Gallery, FMH Crestwood Gallery, and Frederick County Art
Association. Within this past year, two
of the art pieces have been shown at the Annapolis Statehouse Building. Presently, original pieces and giclees are in
private collections and consigned in a local shop.
When
Donna was in the second grade art class, she remembered feeling the excitement
when painting her first abstract. Now
she is focusing on acrylic, collage and mixed media abstracts - the larger the
canvas, the better. She enjoys
expressing creativity through painting and going to new levels using the
imagination with whatever materials are available. The whole process from beginning to end is
exhilarating! I love sharing my world of color with others.
