Donna Rose
As a child, Donna Rose Law recalls being captivated by the images of nature. She lived in N.W. Ontario in the country surrounded by forest. She spent most of her time outside, with her dog, on an adventure in the woods. In her youth, she loved painting images of scraggy jackpines against the vivid northern sky. She appreciates bold, vibrant colours, and is drawn to the colours of her childhood. She works with both acrylics and oils.
