About the Artist - Donna Davenport Warren was born and raised on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in the town of Greenbush. As far back as she can remember she wanted to be an artist. As a child, she drew and sketched, sometimes instead of doing her school work. But she did not become serious about a career in art until the early seventies when she saw an ad in the paper for art classes and signed up so that she could learn the finer points of mixing paints.

Although drawn to the works of Rembrandt and Andrew Wyeth, Donna doesn't prescribe to any particular style. She prefers versatility and enjoys painting whatever she feels. Her subjects range from serious landscapes to whimsical folk art. Her preferred mediums are acrylic and oil, but she has also worked in watercolors, pencil, ink and others.

In 2006, Donna began studying the oil "glazing" technique (transparent layer of oil paint over under painting) with Carole Pierson. This technique has added a new dimension to her art.  One of her oil paintings " A New Day" took 1st Place at the E.A.S.L. Art Show ( Fall 2006).

Donna has exhibited at local art shows including: Harvest Festival, Art in the Park, Copper Creations, Donna has exhibited at local art shows including: Harvest Festival, Art in the Park,  Copper Creations, Bethany Beach Boardwalk Arts Festival, Delmarva Chicken Festival and Y.E.S.
