Hello, my name is Donna Francis and I live in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. My artistic career began in the mid 80's where I attended the Crealde School of Arts and later graduated as a commercial artist from Orlando College in Florida. I also attended schools in San Diego, California and Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Although I work mostly with oils, acrylic, and watercolors I am also quite fond of pastel, and drawings. As my paintings suggest, my passion is nature and I love to paint domestic and wild animals, flora and fauna, birds and bugs. Abstract painting is a new area for me but I love the free flowing of colors and shapes as the take form on the canvas. I look forward to learning, sharing, and growing in the future of art and technology. I frequently use Ebay to show and auction my various works. You can view my latest works in the “Art 4 Sale” area or through my ebay store "Artiste Studio".

Donna is considered to be an 'International Artist' featured in North American Showcase, and recognition in North Light Books, and Wildlife Art. An assortment of her fine artwork has been displayed in several communities across the nation, such as the Denver Botanical Gardens, Pikes Peak Public Library, and Colorado Springs Fine Art Center, as well as several local showings.

By sharing her knowledge and skills with her students, she has gained a reputation as a dynamic and gifted instructor. This shows a beautiful celebration of her spirit in her artwork and her realistic paintings show the dimension of her depth and talent.
