Biography
for Donna M. Adams

Donna M. Adams, who resides in High River Alberta, grew up in Edmonton AB. As a young girl  she was known to many as the “gifted” child of six siblings. Always a musician and artist, Donna’s ability to be inspired and to inspire others continues to be her unique and special gift.

Donna creates landscape, floral and abstract, textured paintings that allow viewers to be intimately connected to her art work. Among the most positive reactions to Donna’s work by many viewers has been how deeply her work resonates with them, at a very personal level.

Acrylics and oils are Donna’s mediums of choice. She specializes in creating texture by building thick layers with a variety of tools and materials on all surfaces large and small. Glazes are applied to enrich the depth of colors.

As an inspired and astute observer of nature, Donna is influenced by light and color. Her unique style creates an atmosphere that draws the viewer into the central depth and flow of her art.

Donna Adams’ work is found in private and commercial collections throughout Canada, and US.

Artist’s Statement

"Imagine" - was chosen as the theme of my collection to inspire the imagination.  I see myself as a messenger of images of nature. My "goal" as an artist is to allow inspired images to come alive on canvas, where viewers are free to “Imagine” and be inspired by the image created.

I work in all types media. Currently, acrylics and oils are my preference. Both work across large surfaces and when manipulated, with just the right tools, achieve a texture that reflects depth, dimension and movement.

My artistic journey began as a commercial artist, responsible for creating a variety of business, advertising, and promotional materials. Home design, computer web-page and graphic design were natural evolutions in my career. Later, while raising my family and working full time as a successful realtor in Sherwood Park and Edmonton Alberta , I established myself as an artist with a unique and natural style.

Many artists have encouraged me to take risks and to let my images flow onto the canvas. Their acceptance  and support have been a motivating force behind the marketing and launching of my shows.

My published works include: the cover of the "Canadian Rural Medical Journal" (Oct. 2010); "Avenue Magazine"; "Reno Magazine"; and Edmonton "Home Magazine". My art work was also appeared as background for 3 different morning shows for  Global News Edmonton for "Kohon Design" (currently known as "Zag Creative Group). I remain the "resident artist for " Zag Creative Group" who specialize in  media advertising.
