Demo Nov 3, 2024, Donna Grande, Abstract Cold Wax and Oil-based Landscape Painting

Livingston Arts Association is proud to present Donna Grande who will demonstrate an “Abstract Cold Wax and Oil-based Landscape Painting.” Her process of development will be partly based on intuition, invention, and memory of a special place. Starting with a photo to plan an initial composition, she will deviate to find a stronger emotional impact. Several of her other completed works will be on display.

This event will take place on Sunday, November 3, 2024, from 2 to 4 p.m., at the Senior/Community Center, 204 Hillside Avenue, Livingston, NJ.

An accomplished artist, Donna Grande’s work is an expressive journey created with acrylics, pastels & oils. Colorful designs articulate & create a densely layered surface reflecting the mystery and beauty of our environment. Her paintings possess a sense of color, unique design, & expert use of mediums.

Donna is a graduate of Montclair State University and has a design degree from F.I.T. She also studied at the Art Students League of New York and has established a career as an artist over the last 30 years. Donna has won numerous awards for her paintings, has been included in juried exhibits and many galleries, has presented numerous solo shows in the Northeast, and has been featured on NBC and Fox News, plus SOS Radio Live.

We would like to continue to offer these events for free to everyone. However we need to face reality. Costs for hosting these events including the hiring of demonstrators and models as well as refreshments have increased so we will be having a donation box available to help defer some of those costs. We appreciate any support you can offer to help us to continue to provide these demonstrations.
