NY, NJ, CT & PA areas.

Donica relocated to Atlanta Georgia in 2013, while being mentored by an Atlanta Miami Circle Gallery owner,  grew to appreciate abstract & contemporary art.  The cities architecture with its beautiful skyline is an inspiration to many of her pieces which are oils, acrylics and mixed media ranging from two feet to five feet in size.  In recent years turned her attention to textured three dimensional art, the paintings often feature a natural soft glow of sunlight, which draws the viewer into the painting adding tranquility and comfort to any room.
