Art became Shirley's life's desire at a very early age. She was determined to be an artist, so when the time came to make adult choices, she chose to enter the world of commercial art as an illustrator and designer. It was a good choice for Shirley, as it led her to a 30-year career in the business of creating for others.
Upon retiring from her career, she picked up her brushes again to continue the creative process, but this time it was to paint for the pure pleasure of painting. She starts her process by studying her subjects and knowing them well. Telling their story on canvas or paper is a big and important part of her creative process. Viewers will find both still life and landscape paintings in her portfolio. Beauty guides her subject choices because she has always found beauty everywhere, even in the simplest, or strangest, of things. "But, it's the story behind the beauty that guides me through my painting process." |

COME TASTE THE DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF WATERCOLOR! Need a kick start? Want to paint looser? Or would you like to explore realistic painting in watercolor? This is a class for all levels. This 2 and 1/2 hour class consists of a 30 minute demo and 2 hours of painting on your own.

Session One Demo will explore wet into wet, loose starts (painting waves, clouds, trees, and more).

Upon graduation from Wright State University, Donna Pierce-Clark began teaching Secondary Art at Fairlawn High School, in Sidney, Ohio. Personal growth as an artist, led her to watercolor and oil painting workshops under many internationally known artists. Much like the wet-into-wet watercolor technique, she also paints Alla Prima oils. A member of Dailypaintworks.com, Donna paints and posts on this website, daily small works, updates her own website, and sends out her weekly blog and Newsletter. As well as painting professionally and teaching watercolors at the Troy Hayner Cultural Center, in Troy, Ohio; she also teaches private students in her home studio.
Her website is extensive: http:// www.donnapierceclark.com "Transparency and movement dominate both my landscapes and my still life works. Just as I am inspired by rolling hills or the movement of ocean waves, swaying tree limbs, and grasses in nature; I am motivated to paint soft folds in fabric, as they roll beneath and around the objects in a still life. When painting En Plein Air, my spiritual senses are awakened as I study shapes, colors, and changing light. Sparkling, transparent waters of my landscapes are echoed by reflections of cut glass and other objects in my still life paintings. Transparent oil and transparent watercolor pigments find their way into all of my creations." |
