Donna Vis is a California-based glass artist and painter whose work often balances fragility and strength, together with emotion, light and movement. She is inspired by her environment, the natural world and collaboration with fellow artists here and abroad.
Donna continuously evolves her art through experimentation and adaptation. In fact, this autumn Donna will travel to Italy for an immersive session in glass! Never afraid to share ideas, she learns most by being open to new techniques. Donna has nurtured her passion during four professional residencies at the Pilchuck Glass School (Stanwood, WA) and at Ghost Ranch (New Mexico), the iconic home of Georgia O’Keeffe. Additional enrichment to her creative process is gained through pinpointed education in her broad range of interests and through the experiences of world travel. Whether emerging from the heart of creative silence or the energy of collaboration, her works are open windows to our ever-changing world, revealing an artist in constant evolution, guided by an insatiable drive to learn. As President and founding member of the non-profit PSGC, Donna combines her artistic vision with leadership to partner with organizations such as the Ojai Music Festival and Ojai Land Conservancy. She is a past President of Ventura County Pastel Artists and an active member of several art groups, including SCAPE (Southern California Artists Painting for the Environment) and Studio Channel Islands. Donna’s work can be found in private and public collections. Her studio is located in Somis, California, and visitors are welcome by appointment. Instagram: @Donna_Vis |
