Donaldson in the Studio
AMY DONALDSON
Jacskonville Beach, Florida
A Florida native, abstract expressionist artist Amy Donaldson is inspired by spiritual connections we have with others and the great powers above. In the Jacksonville Beach studio, Donaldson fuses elements of both textural and impressionistic painting on both large and very small canvases. Unlike most traditional studio artists, Donaldson uses all natural pigments and mixes her own medium. She then uses these materials building up her complex surfaces over time. Each piece has a subtle hand carved message hidden in the layers that she hopes reaches and inspires someone.
Using aggressive strokes and color play, Donaldson’s spontaneous and uninhibited nature is apparent in her work. The end result is a vibrant abstract image that is alive with color and emotion that she hopes will touch your heart and bring love into this difficult world.
