biography/

Donna effectively utilizes all manner of objects and curios in her sculptures, armed with the firm belief that all objects have a story to tell. In putting them all together, she invites the patient and inquiring viewer to delve into the myriad possibilities of meanings and interpretations that can arise from the narratives she hopes to create from these contraptions. Her intriguing and vivid displays never fail to bewilder, giving rise to notions about her intentions that underlies her creations, in that way, allowing the viewer to retreat into their own respective imaginations as well.
