Donna Steel - Fine Artist
Member Since: 04/30/2008
Donna Steel Contemporary New Zealand Artist.
Donna is a self-taught artist based in Christchurch, New Zealand. She has a fascination with creating things, loves to paint and also loves to sculpt, so has managed to combine these two passions with her Oil and mixed media artworks. Donna admits she is a 'total texture junkie', saying, 'I love using different types of mixed media, and just adore texture!'
Most of Donna's paintings contain some form of mixed media and she enjoys incorporating many different types of texture and resin in her artworks. Donna's paintings can take several weeks to complete because of the numerous different layers she applies to create her unique 2d effect.
A lot of Donna's inspiration comes from the everyday moments of life.., like a weekend away, a memory she has, or driving down the road and seeing or hearing something. Donna loves the outdoors - nature in all its beauty, be it mountains, rivers, flowers, trees or butterflies. Photography is another passion of Donna's which she uses as inspiration to create her artworks.
Over the last few years Donna has developed a passion for tutoring and has really enjoyed offering and teaching Art Extension programs within Schols in Canterbury and developing her own private art classes as well as teaching Community Adult Education Art Programs. In Septmber 2010 Donna along with 6 other NZ Artists was selected by Golden Paints, USA (www.goldenpaints.com) to be one of their NZ Golden Artist Educators.
Donna's work is sold Internationally, exhibited in select NZ Galleries and has also been used in advertising catalogues.
