A Grape in the Fog Presents:
"Nature's Palette"- Photography by Donna M. Doney
"I have always been drawn to the environment and the spirit of the natural world. I grew up in Pennsylvania, but every summer we vacationed at the beach in New Jersey. I learned to love and explore nature at an early age, collecting shells, creating collages, sketching and painting. It was the beginning of my journey to see nature and create art. Today, I am still on that quest to experience and understand the natural world.
As a landscape photographer, my goal is to explore, analyze and take in the beauty of the earth?s composition, structure and processes. As an artist, I want to visually capture the essence of the environment and communicate my vision of the natural world by extracting images that evoke a sense of place and transport the viewer into the environment I am photographing. If I am successful, I believe that the image will speak to the viewer and stimulate emotion. I am truly passionate in this quest to communicate the visual beauty of the natural world and hope that viewers of my work will come to appreciate the wonderful complexities of this planet and help to preserve it.
With my photographs, I feel connected to what once existed, as if the plants, trees, mountains and oceans hold memories of the past. The photographs connect me to moments in time as I tell their stories. I search for natural sunlight as it plays across the water, mist suspended in the atmosphere and colors that captivate the moment. These images of earth and sky, day and night, calm and storm, reality and fantasy become forever real once they are photographed
About the Artist: I am a certified K ? 12 Art Teacher. I have a B.F.A in Communication Design and a Certificate in Art Education. I have taught elementary school Art and Art History for 15 years and am currently pursuing my passion for photography."
