Art Opening Reception: Friday, September 10 / 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm @ 12 Vassar Street
Donna Faranda is a painter and printmaker whose work has been exhibited throughout the NY metropolitan area as well as nationally and internationally. Through her artwork she “seeks to open the doors and allow the viewer to enter into a deeper level where wisdom and metaphor can reveal a vast new world beyond the surface.” Seeking not only to render the interaction of colors as she creates images, Ms. Faranda explores elements of the female psyche and incorporates images of classic women with objects of nature. “Working with an unlimited palette, my pointillist pieces come to life helping me to construct a drama consisting of reflections of women’s inner stories and I try to illustrate through my paintings their innate nobleness, revealing the instinctive nature that resides within them.”
Ms. Faranda has exhibited at Barrett Art Center, Artios Gallery, Manhattans, Upstream Gallery in Hastings, and at the Arts Mid-Hudson galleries. In addition to her group shows at BAU Gallery, The Mamaroneck Art Center, the Howland Cultural Center and College of New Rochelle Gallery, to name a few, she has presented her work in solo exhibits at Westchester Community College – Center for Digital Art, Union Street Gallery in Chicago, Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, and the W. Keith & Janet Kellogg University Art Gallery. Along with being the winner of the Stellar Art Award from California’s Digital Arts juried online show, she won Best in Show in the online juried show sponsored by the National Association of Women Artists in 2016 and most recently was awarded best in Digital Art at the Artios’ Gallery United in Art exhibit. Ms. Faranda has been published in the ASCO Expressions of Hope Calendar, Eli Lily Oncology on Canvas, the Novartis/Creative Center calendar, The New York Times – Westchester Weekly Section and Westchester Magazine Online. She resides in Dutchess County, NY. Donna Faranda (micro-pointillism.com
