BendSearch.com: Artists and Performers

Nestled in the Cascade Mountains of Central Oregon impressionist painter Joanne Donaca finds inspiration in the pristine snowy peaks of the Three Sisters to the beautiful slopes of world class Mt. Bachelor. Donaca cultivates her colorful inspirations with thick and bold strokes reminiscent of master artists Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh. Her high key palette and contrasting backgrounds work together to form lush images that conjure up most joyful excursions backpacking and hiking into the high country and smelling of clean, fresh air of the wide open spaces. Taking her impressions from nature, Donaca imbues her images with a vibrant feeling of familiarity. Verdant streams flowing, country hillsides rolling, and old paths lilting all reflect Donacas' need to harvest the beauty from the often overlooked.
