Announcing: Donna Gordon Named Galatea Fine Art Gallery Artist

Wave I, Watercolor, 22 x 30 inches

Artist Statement | Donna is both a visual artist and a fiction writer. Her visual art is often driven by the desire to tell a story. Much of her work is based on the human figure—its shape, awe, and definition. She generally works large, 24 x 36, and increasingly larger. Her painting—in both acryla-gouache and watercolor—is focused on the figure in the landscape. Two printmaking series in progress are: “Broken Beauty,” a series of figurative monotypes, and “Double Vision,” a series of lithographs.

Recent exhibitions include Fitchburg Art Museum, Bromfield Gallery, Cape Cod Museum of Art, Providence Art Club, Rhode Island Watercolor Society, Union of Maine Visual Artists, Featherstone Gallery, Concord Art Association and Cambridge Art Association.

Donna’s work with Amnesty International and former political prisoners culminated in “Putting Faces on the Unimaginable: Portraits and Interviews with Former Prisoners of Conscience,” exhibited at Harvard’s Fogg Museum. Her debut novel, What Ben Franklin Would Have Told Me, will be released on June 8th, 2022.
