Studio Montclair, Inc. is proud to host Evolving Origins and Liminal Perceptions, an exhibition of work using the luscious medium of cold wax and oil by artist, Donna Grande. Evolving Origins and Liminal Perceptions will be on exhibit from September 12 to November 29, Academy Square Gallery, 33 Plymouth Street, Montclair, NJ.
Donna Grande is an artist for whom “nature lives inside of me”. “Pastels, oil and cold wax enhance the dialogue between surface and underlying structure and give each piece veils of color to which luminosity and subtlety occur.” Her work is not just meant to be seen, but experienced.
About the Artist: Donna Grande’s formal training includes a BA from Montclair State University, an A.A.S. from Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC and supplemental studies at The Art Students League of NY, NJ School of Visual Arts, NJ and Koho School of Sumie, NYC. She has participated in solo, curated, and juried exhibitions and has received numerous awards for her works which are held in both private and public collections. Ms. Grande has been showcased in American Artist and New Jersey Design magazines and has been interviewed on radio and television.
