She decided to pursue an education in fine arts after twenty years of working as an accountant by earning her BFA from Tennessee State University in Nashville, TN, and her MFA from Lesley University in Boston, Massachusetts. Donna's journey, sparked by her immense passion for painting, is currently informed by discourse concerning black experience in American society and the subtleties of racism and divide that continue to permeate. She resides in Nashville, TN where she has emerged within the art community having participated in a number of group exhibitions and most recently a solo exhibition. She is ecstatic about her future as a maker and looking forward to what lies ahead.
