year old self-taught artist living in the beautiful coastal community of Pacifica, California. She’s been in a relationship with her partner Leslie for almost 30 years, and they have a 15 year old daughter.
Up until 2011, Donna was in private sector business,
managing offices and facilities for various accounting and consulting firms in
downtown San Francisco. When she was
laid off in a merger related company reorganization, she felt her life being
put on a different path. Since then
she’s been going with the flow, but is grateful for the skills she accumulated while
in corporate.
Donna’s interests vary.
She is happiest when she’s doing several things at the same time. Artistically, she works in acrylics, loves
pen & ink, enjoys collage work, creates custom gifts like gift baskets and
jewelry, and is an avid card maker who has a line of custom cards made with embellishments. Donna is currently exhibiting in and is involved
with the art community in Pacifica. As a
writer, she is half way through her first fiction novel, frequently writes
press releases for the local art scene and in her current position with an art
gallery, and she’s been published in the local paper. She is also reviewing and editing college
level papers for students. While she does
biographical writing about artists and art shows in her community, she is also
an experienced business writer. Donna is
currently available for freelance writing work.
