Red Salon is excited to welcome local artist Dona Reed for the month of May. Dona started printmaking in 1972 while an art student in college. As an art student, art teacher and artist she has been fortunate to explore a wide range of media. Dona uses strong lines and graphic shapes to create a simplified representation of natural subjects. She also uses repetitive patterns, negative space and texture to create flowing movement and capture the subject’s essence. Most of her pieces are monochromatic with touches of color that are applied by hand.
