DONNA CASELDEN

“I consider myself to be an experimental contemporary artist. My work always contains an element of surprise. Once I make that first pass with my brush, I never know what will emerge. The finished design is rarely the way I expected it to be. I love that. I trust my intuition, and that allows my artwork to evolve organically. It is that aura of mystery that captivates the viewer, with a sense that my paintings reveal a secret, unknown space. I want people to feel that they’re truly drawn into the painting, and see something different every time.”
Donna works in acrylic and oil and often incorporates unusual substances such as metal, mica and sand to achieve texture and effects. Caselden’s work has been exhibited extensively throughout the country, including the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) in Salem, Massachusetts.
