Nature Photographer
Photographs by Donna Doney do more than catalog beautiful scenes. They communicate the soul of the natural elements as well as a richness of detail that one can sense in a place, but only an artist can capture.
Art and nature have long been driving passions in Donna’s life as she collected shells, sketched and painted as a child. Graduating Kutztown with a degree in art, she had a successful early career as a graphic designer and illustrator. Her career as an elementary art educator led her to schools in Pennsylvania, Michigan and California.
It was on the West Coast that another dimension to her love for art emerged: photography. For 10 years she refined and perfected her skills along the Northern California coast, where her land and sea photography was soon to be found in half a dozen galleries.
In 2019, she brought her passions for photography and teaching back to her home turf of Berks County, Pennsylvania.
“As a landscape photographer, I love to explore, analyze and take in the beauty of the earth's composition,” Donna explains. “As an artist, I want to visually capture the essence of the environment and communicate my vision of the world by extracting images that evoke a sense of emotion and transport the viewer to a specific place and time.”
