Donna has loved art for as long as she can remember and studied art at the University of Utah. When she was introduced to decorative painting in 1977 she was immediately hooked for life. She took lessons for a few months and then began painting on her own. In January of 1978 she was asked to teach a class and has been teaching ever since. She has taught for several art stores and in various decorative painting shops over the years and teaches for many of the SDP chapters. Donna has taught basic drawing classes, color theory, watercolor, basic sculpting, and acrylic painting classes. For the past seven or eight years she has been teaching for Roberts Arts and Crafts in Sandy, Utah and also in her home studio. Donna has continued to take classes and has studied with many great artists and wonderful teachers from across the country, learning many techniques and styles. Over the years she has studied extensively with David Jansen, MDA, learning invaluable information about color theory, historical painting styles and techniques, and how to accomplish those techniques with the high-quality paints available today.
