“We were looking for a statement piece for our reception area that would immediately create an impression. Donna’s artwork has done exactly that. It has a wonderful sense of movement and depth, and the texture gives the painting a presence that simply doesn’t come across in a photograph. It has become a real talking point with visitors.”
