Donnalee Sherburne

Inspired by the natural beauty and spirit of the land in New England, this self-taught artist has always had a passion for creativity and imagination from a young age. Finding solace in art throughout various stages of life, from teenage years to heartbreak and beyond, painting has been a constant source of joy and gratitude. The artist's intention is to share their creative works in hopes of bringing the same sense of solace and joy to others who experience it.

With an eye attuned to nature's colors, structures, and energies, the artist's work can be found in various mediums such as 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 continuous search for more opportunities to share their work with a wider audience.

One of the artist's favorite subjects to paint is old barns, as they see them as a disappearing piece of New England's history. By painting these structures, they feel they are playing a role in their preservation, calling upon the spirits of the land to guide them in their work. Honoring the hard-working families who have cared for these family farms, the artist hopes to capture the essence of these places in their artwork.

For those who appreciate the beauty of New England's landscapes and the preservation of family farms, the artist offers prints of their work for home and office decor. If you have a special family farm that holds meaning for you, consider adding a piece of this artist's collection to your own space as a tribute to the land and families who have cared for it.
