Philosophy
Artists record life as they see and feel it; in visual art they interpret mood, dissonance or harmony with texture, color and line.
Donna Gunther-Brown looks at the sorrows and accomplishments of the world we've created, as well as the beauty and natural order of all life. She has the sense and assurance as an artist to express those feelings.
Gunther-Browns' work lives generally on the "edge of reality" somewhere between representation and expressive abstraction.
