About Donna Faranda
I am a pointillist who works both figuratively and abstractly. The use of a traditional pointillist technique, in a computer paint program, allows me to create a visually textured environment in which compositions are reduced to their essence. Wonder, mystery and a desire to explore the beyond are realized when I navigate through pulsating particles of matter and their underlying structures.
My art work has been exhibited throughout the New York metropolitan area as well as Washington, DC and France. I received a Jurors Award from Carroll Janis at the New York University Small Works Show. Most recently, I have participated in several group shows here in Westchester including "Stress, Struggle and Change" at the College of New Rochelle Gallery, the Inaugural Exhibition show at the Blue Door Gallery and "Wrap It Up" at The Vault Gallery, sponsored by Arts Westchester. Opening October 7th, I will exhibiting in a one person show at the Martucci Gallery in Irvington, NY, Most recently I have been selected to participate in two group exhibits: One at the Brooklyn Artists Gym the other in Museum of Computer Art - Brooklyn.
