I leave you with her own words on her amazing work:
«My art is a realization of a life long dream. A sense of tranquility and respect for life impact my images. I create compositions of balance and harmony expressing affirmations from the heart. My works are intended to stir the senses. My approach to painting varies with each piece. The richness and depth of tones and textures are achieved by applying layers of color washes, acrylics, oil pastels, India ink, and translucent glazes with various tools. My finished work reveals itself after the layers settle into one. My art is meant to extract an invitation to the viewer to visualize special moments in his or her own life.» — Donna Dowless
