About Me
Donna DiGiovanni
As a bookworm and music lover, poetry and song lyrics are a source of inspiration for my paintings. Like poets and lyricists, I want to tell a story.
My paintings depict the tension between order/chaos, measured/intuitive line, bold/subtle colors, and defined/ambiguous shapes. I use calligraphic marks that are based on no particular language, yet call to mind written communication. The viewer encounters a puzzle and finds their own interpretation while attempting to decipher the code.
Through bold colors and lines, tempered with neutrals and subtle marks, I strive to bring energy and delight to viewers in their homes.
