About Donna Robertson

Donna Robertson began her art career in Kansas City in
1979, where she was an active member in the Greater
Kansas City Art Association and received numerous
awards and purchase prizes in regional and local shows.
She moved to North Carolina in 1989 and, with her
daughter who is also an artist, owned a gallery in
Wilmington until 1994. Donna now lives in Beaufort, NC.

Until 2002, she worked almost exclusively in watercolor
and collage. A non-credit course in the French
impressionists led to an interest in oils, which is her
current focus. Among the galleries who show her work
are Pea Island Gallery at
Salvo on the Outer Banks, Greenleaf Gallery at Duck,
Fountainside Gallery in Wilmington and the Little Art Gallery in
Cameron Village in Raleigh.

She has had work accepted in the North Carolina
Watercolor Society shows, and in the show for women
artists of North Carolina – Through Women’s Eyes, By
Women’s Hands at Chapel Hill. She has also been
represented in the Wilmington exhibition, Artists of
Southeastern North Carolina.

On creativity…”I love paint…watercolor, oil, pastel…the
whole process of creating! I love the effects of light on
color and the constant challenge to grow in any art
medium. Art connects me with the deepest aspects of
myself and, when it succeeds, it connects me
with others…”
