Donna Fleetwood

I work with various media and would describe myself as a process artist inspired by soul. My soul grows with me in the creative process and I trust that process. Once I feel a kinship with my work whether it is a painting or a ceramic sculpture I know it is complete.

Growing up fairly isolated on a large ranch in Kansas, Donna became a keen observer of her inner worlds and outer surroundings. "My art journey began when, as a young child I drew life-size stick figures on the walls of my farmhouse bedroom. I can still remember the satisfying feeling of pressing a crayon into the wallpaper to make my mark. Despite this poor choice of drawing surface, my parents continued to encourage my creativity, sending me off for an art degree after high school. Over the years, I still find that moment of kinship from my past to the present moment informing my choices of subject matter, composition, and color. " “The artist Donna Fleetwood expresses many pure and graceful sensations capable of immersing the viewer into the painting, starting from the process of creation until the last stages of its realization.” Alessia Perone, Senior Art Curator, M.A.D.S Art Gallery, Milan Italy. Donna holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts and works out of her studio in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has been shown in juried shows both internationally and regionally.
