Protected Painting

Donna Fecteau uses texture, color and light to create soothing yet provocative canvases that reflect both the natural and spiritual worlds from which she draws inspiration. Her ghostly, ephemeral paintings celebrate movement, suggesting change and transformation and inviting endless possible interpretations. “Painting is an act of revelation to myself,” says Fecteau, who works with acrylics in an abstract expressionist style. A figure floats across a canvas. A waterfall emerges. A wash of color and movement evokes the Celts, Egyptians, druids or other spiritual cultures that influence Fecteau’s work.
