Working with mixed media, Donna’s work explores human touch, past moments and the notion of memories. She often uses items that are misplaced and things that she has found, connecting identity with relationships and objects. These items are stored and categorised, through emotion, recollection and memory the viewer is taken on a journey.

SAW’s New Website

Somerset Art Works currently has over 400 members and continues to support the development of Visual Arts in Somerset and growing its audiences. With the support from the Arts Council England Lottery funding, we are able to re-develop our website which helps us to provide better information and services to our members and audiences.
