Donnalee Sherburne

Inspired by the natural beauty and spirit of the New England landscape, the artist's self-taught journey in creativity began at a young age. Finding solace and grounding in art throughout various stages of life, from teenage years to heartbreak and now into the autumn of life, the artist's work reflects a deep sense of contentment, joy, and gratitude. It is their hope that sharing their creative works will evoke similar feelings in those who experience it.

With an eye attuned to nature's colors, structures, and energies, the artist's work spans across various mediums including oils, pastels, watercolor, acrylics, and mixed media, depending on the inspiration at hand. Their pieces have been displayed in local libraries, cafes, and Art Walks, with a constant search for new opportunities to share their work with a wider audience.

One of the artist's favorite subjects to paint is old barns, as they feel these structures are slowly disappearing from the New England landscape. Through their paintings, the artist hopes to contribute to the preservation of these iconic buildings, calling upon the spirits of place to guide them in their work. They honor the hard-working families who have stewardship over the land and animals these barns represent.

For those interested in adding a piece of New England's beauty to their home or office decor, prints of the artist's work, featuring family farms and other nature-inspired scenes, are available for purchase. Each piece captures the essence of the region's landscape and the artist's deep connection to the land.
