I’m Donnersmith  –  an artist in Portland, Maine. 

 

I love abstract painting for its pure sensuality. 

 

It gives shape to the invisible and liberates art from depiction of the visible world. It opens up a boundless exploration of colors and forms, articulating otherwise indescribable realms of emotion and fantasy.

 

I work with roughly abused surfaces and constrained palettes. Starting with two or three colors I use wide-ranging techniques and layering to create complex textures. I look to evoke a range of feelings – sadness, joy, sorrow, doom, exaltation, etc. 

 

The works are minimalist, strongly emotional and invitingly tactile. I'm continually exploring the use of mixed media, with additions such as sand, wax, rope, string, paper 

or fabric.

Selected paintings are available. If interested please inquire by email.
