Press Release

Donna McGee's cathartic abstracts create a cerebral moodiness, as they undulate in tone and palette to reveal layers of depth and density. Evoking the technique of later-day Gerhard Richter and the color choices of Mark Rothko, the paintings speak in meditative and restrained voices. With subdued hues, McGee creates not merely composition but atmosphere, resonating with evocations even as they lack narrative in their abstraction. McGee's medium-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. She holds a Masters of Education degree from Pennsylvania State University and has written "The Whole Collage, an art book for aesthetic education" and "Creativity and The Child: Training Modules For Teachers". She has also taught at numerous universities, including Pennsylvania State University, George Mason University, and Northampton Community College. In addition to numerous academic awards, Donna McGee has been the recipient of a prize in the 79th Annual International Juried Exhibition, Art Association of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
