Donna Young’s devotion to startling jubilant color is contagious. Inspired by the French Masters, such as Monet, Matisse and Van Gogh, Donna invigorates her canvases in dynamic immediate brushstrokes. Sparkling tones used in her lush landscapes and opulent
water reflections are layered with expressive rhythm. Pastoral scenes are poetically textured with spirited energy. Water scenes allow the viewer to connect to a stunning appreciation of our natural world. Sensuous pattern, tempered with vigorous color, breathe life into ageless compositions.
Her experience of life, passion for color and refinement of technique combine to offer incredible works that are rich in energy, a celebration to the eye, and seem almost as timeless as nature itself. Each finished piece is alluring, vibrant and sustaining.

Donna is a graduate of Burnley School of Professional Art in Seattle, WA (1976), and has exhibited constantly while received numerous artistic awards. Her visions of nature have resulted in exhibitions in major corporate headquarters as well as having earned a strong following
among private collectors and celebrities. "It is my intention to create paintings which fascinate, uplift, and heighten the senses. I enjoy presenting my subjects in unusual perspectives, which encourage viewers to put aside habits of perception and to look at the world with new eyes.
I feel compelled to capture nature with spirited color, mood and emotion that is alluring, vibrant and sustaining."
