Arizona's beauty, diverse climates and
landscapes, wildlife, history and lifestyle keep
Donna Polivka creatively occupied. The strong
light and bright colors of the southwest that she
dearly loves are reflected in her work. She is
known for her bold and energetic works of art
that engage the viewer with their vibrant color
and pattern. Donna's designs bring a sense of
fun and adventure to any home.
Working on a variety of surfaces including
canvas, pottery, clothing, furniture and vast
array of decorative housewares, she has a true
talent for adapting designs to fit almost any
surface. She enjoys the challenge and the
chance to change the styles of concept, design
and application.
"I am an American painter with an individual
message, a technique of my own, and a style
combining the impressions of both nature
and artist."
Having traveled and lived in many different
areas of the U.S. and Canada, Donna has been
touched by an infinite variety of influences and
environments, enabling her to create a vast
palette of subject matter. Diverse locales, as
well as dramatic climate and vegetation
differences, have inspired her as an artist. The
visual stimuli of widely differing parts of the
country provide her painterly inspirations.
Donna finds an intricacy of colors, shapes and
shadows in tropical gardens, in the desert, in a
Midwestern corn field or an East Coast flower
garden...all beguiling as subject matter. These
are interpreted through her own vision.
"I want my art to enhance the viewer's
surroundings and to add pleasure to their lives.
I strive for colors and designs that produce a
symphony of life, harmony and joy."
"I wish to convey my own delight and pleasure
in creating beautiful images and translating
them in painterly terms, so that the viewers may
share fully in a creative experience."
