November Artist of the Month

 

Lotus After the Rain by Donna Parker

 

Donna Parker of Milton, MA.

 

Photography has been an integral part of Donna’s life since she first received a camera as a child. She has been seriously involved in photography for over 30 years and enjoys all types of photography.

 

Recently, Donna has become involved in contemplative photography and has been using color, light, and forms, with an emphasis on minimalism, so that viewers may interpret the images on a personal level.

 

“I particularly enjoy the beauty of photographing flowers and landscapes and have spent over 10 years photographing lotus flowers in particular.

 

I feel a special joy in viewing the intrinsic beauty of the lotus blossoms as they progress through their unique life cycle.

 

I have become more aware of frequent changes in the surroundings environment, including nuances of movement and changes in light that may result in interesting forms of leaves and flowers,” comments Donna Parker.

 

Donna has taken a number of photography classes at the Rhode Island School of Design, and numerous photography workshops and seminars. She has taught several photography classes including basic photography, the contemplative photograph, and impressionistic photography.

 

Donna is a member of the Photographic Society of America, Stony Brook and South Shore Camera Clubs, and the Art League of Rhode Island. Her photography has appeared in a number of art galleries throughout New England as well as art galleries in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

 

The past 3 years, Donna has had several of her black and white images appear in The Black and White Magazine.
