This "Kitty Kitty" may be appearing to look into the distance, but first, artist Donna Trudell looked at the cat. And, trust me, Donna doesn't just look----she really sees! Then, somehow, she is able tmanipulate an image in her mind and translate that manipulation to her paintings in an amazing way.
Donna sees and translates to art anything from cats to cows, flowers to flapping laundry. She captures local scenes as well as sights from her many travels around the world. And then we get the benefit of sharing in her imaginative transformations of her mind as we view the paintings she creates and displays at Blue Frog Arts in Lamoni. Currently she has a display of her work in the "Green Gallery" of the Blue Frog. Do stop in and take a peek. For those of you who are too far away I will post a few pictures here. But, really, to do them justice, come to Main Street Lamoni and stop into The Blue Frog which is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 5:00.
After studying art at Oakland University in Auburn Hills, Michigan and Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, Donna continued to her education in Grand Cayman, Greece, Mexico, Canada and many states. Art trips included excursions to the great galleries of England, France, Italy, Greece, Canada and around the United States. She lives in southern Iowa where she shares quarters with one frisky dog and a laid-back cat. Hmmm... I guess we've just gone full cirlce back to that Kitty Kitty featured above.
Please come to our gallery where Donna can tell you about her art work in person.
