Art lovers who know Donna Sallee view her as Florida’s most versatile painter. Her several thousand commissions sprinkled through America and across the seas include work in oils, watercolors, acrylics, and pastels. Every work is infused with her own vivacity: Color is her passion. Her comfort with mediums covers the entire spectrum:
Canvas, paper, fibreboard, plaster, glass, wood, tile, brick, and resin. There is no limit to her creations be they murals of every size and scene, the softness of a child done in pastels, the vigor of a Tuscan entourage, the whimsy of a simple bench transformed into a Spring garden that blooms eternal, the sense of the tropics in every room of the house – and the image of Dan Marino throwing a pass across his bunk bed to the happiest boy in the neighborhood.
Originally from New England, Donna’s studio today is in Lauderdale by the Sea, Florida.
Donna’s unique skills and creativity have made her patrons come back again and again for over 40 years. The little girl who had her first one-person show at age 12, refined her talents at Paier College of Art in Hamden, Connecticut, where she graduated with honors. |
