FINE ARTS RESUME

Born in California, Donna majored in Fine Arts at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) from 1964 to 1967, and then studied at various art institutions and ateliers in Mexico, New York and Paris.

From 1967 until today, Donna has exhibited her paintings, drawings and graphic art in numerous galleries in New York, on the East Coast and in Paris, France, where her works have been purchased for both private and public collections. She received a grant from the National Endowment on the Arts for one of her projects and a number of prestigious awards.

Whether her work is abstract or figurative, grapes, women or muses, painting or lithography, Donna's artistic aspirations have always been the same: the search for beauty and poetry or meaning, communicated through gesture, colour, light and form.
