ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
EXHIBITING IN GALLERY II
McGee’s medium and large-scale abstract works
reveal an exploration in compositional qualities as well as a palpable
sensitivity to palette. The intellectual yet profoundly emotive approach to
painting emerges from McGee’s extensive background in early childhood education
in the arts. Her paintings have won awards and are found in private collections
in the US, Europe, and in numerous corporate establishments throughout
Washington, DC. Donna K. McGee treats viewers to the wonder and richness of
colors and uses color to create atmosphere and emphasize forms. The imagery
that is present in many of the pieces is highlighted by the use of the color
blue which speaks eloquently in a language all its own. There is much that is
exciting in this collection, and the overall impression is one that allows the
audience to feel themselves in the role of an adventurer, daring to venture
further and to see more clearly. The result is sure to speak to both the head
and the heart, and remain a lasting memory for those who see it.
In addition to the main
Gallery, Foundry Gallery II features member artists exhibiting work that has
not been shown before at the Foundry. For an exciting array of work that
changes monthly and is exhibited by a unique group of talented artists, please
be sure to regularly visit the Foundry Gallery. All work is for sale. For more
