Donna Lion Grant, Artist: I've been away for awhile.... Now I'm back!

I've been away for awhile.... Now I'm back!

Sometimes life pushes art to the side. In my case, my elderly parent's needs took over my life for awhile.

Things are more organized now. I have been creating in my mind all along, and now I am finding time to create tangible work.

Please enjoy my next piece, "Aquanaut 14". It's an assemblage made for the 56th AGP member show that opens October 17th and closes November 16th, 2014.

Keep posted for the images on Opening Day!

My Biography

I grew up with creative parents who influenced my focus. My father a photographer; my mother a painter and excellent cook; and both musicians.

I loved the outdoors of the Santa Clara Valley; its birds and wildlife. I played in extensive orchards surrounding our house. I delighted in my grandfather's gigantic edible garden and abundant flowering plants.

I got my Brownie camera at age 7, and began capturing my visions. Painting and drawing soon followed. I enjoyed sailing and swimming and camping with my family. Through school I took as much art as possible. I got an A.A. in Graphic Design with honors at Foothill College, then attended the San Francisco Art Institute where I earned a BFA in Painting.

As a birder, I travelled to remote places in far and offbeat corners of the US, Canada, Mexico, South America, and the Philippines to enjoy nature and get inspiration.

I currently live in beautiful Pacifica, California.

I serve on the Board for The Art Guild of Pacifica and am the Membership Chair. Since 1995, I've met monthly with The Bookgangstas, who read and discuss books. I contribute to their blog. When time and mood allows, I make beaded jewelry.

I show and sell work locally, and have received awards for my work. My continuing study includes workshops with prominent artists who inspire me.
