About Donna Bird: Donna is a realist painter who uses traditional oil painting methods to interpret contemporary subjects. Her subject matter covers the disciplines of still life, landscape and portraiture. She prefers to paint directly from life and is particularly interested in pushing the nuances of color in her subjects. The colors are juxtaposed to create atmosphere and convey her response to the moment. Her work is influenced by both modern day and traditional painting masters.
"I love working with students and helping them become artists. Helping them learn the skills they need to paint and draw on their own is a great feeling. I know they are learning something they can take with them, and move forward with and grow."
