ARTIST STATEMENT
Donna J. Goldstien Donna, a native of southern California, has always been inspired by nature and the outdoors. Her oil paintings portray a realistic impression of the world around her. As a naturalist who has led interpretive hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains, she has developed a unique awareness of the inherent beauty found in the California landscape. Her love of the ocean is portrayed in her enchanting plein air seascapes. Her paintings capture moments in time when all nature’s elements are harmonious. As a docent with the Japanese Garden in Van Nuys, California, she has been inspired by the Zen concepts taught by Dr. Kowichi Kawana, striving to capture the essence of nature with an avoidance of the artificial and a preference for the imperfect form. Donna was encouraged by her art teachers throughout her education. Expanding her studies of art history, she spent a year in Japan that further influenced her interpretation of art. Returning to the States, she continued painting with various art instructors in Southern California, then entered the Design Program through UCLA. There she refined both her visual and technical skills. She completed intensive courses with Otis Parson instructors Joyce Lightbody, Judy Corona, and Ann Waterman. Donna , a member of the San Fernando Valley Art Club, has won both minor and major exhibits. As a member of the Allied Artists of the Santa Monica Mountains, she contributes a percentage of sales to the protection of the natural environment. Her paintings have been on exhibit in the Los Angeles Zoo, the Sooky Goldman Nature Center in Beverly Hills, the Pasadena Hilton, the Van Nuys State Building, Stuart Gallery in Encino, and the Barefoot Gallery in Topanga Canyon. Her work, collected internationally, is found in the private collections of those seeking to enhance their environment with nature’s intrinsic beauty. Email: baluku1@hotmail.com
