She uses a theme that inspires a deep longing for simple moments. Although Donna already had a desire to paint, she couldn’t get into painting since her children hadn’t started going to school. It was until 1994 after her children joined school that she started painting. Donna has been painting since then and has covered a variety of subjects while at the same time doing her best to portray positivity. Some of her subjects include pastures, old homes, and ocean. Interestingly, when she started painting, she hadn’t gotten any formal training in art, triggering her to follow acrylics lessons. After a few classes, she was good to go. Donna injected her creativity, combining it with her acrylics training to create high quality art. She derives her inspiration from her New England neighborhoods, mainly capturing the things she sees in her everyday life.
