Six Mixed Media Pieces by Donna Kuhn

I make art because that is the only way life makes sense to me. A recurrent theme in my work is the face: semi-abstract, colorful and emotional. I don’t choose to draw these faces. Their forms just come to me. They jump off the page and stare at you. Dare to stare back. I have tried to choose between media. I cannot. I feel fully engaged and alive when I’m creating. I’m a maker of images more than a storyteller. My work is about being a woman and an outsider. It has been described as playful, haunting, bold, whimsical, colorist, joyful, wild, free, sad, poetic, mysterious and tense.

Some of my work can be found at Tumblr, Imagekind, Saatchi Art, and on YouTube.
