About Donna Mazzone
Donna Mazzone is a Plein Air watercolor artist inspired by landscapes, seascapes and flora. Traveling throughout New England has been the source for much her painting. Trips to the Southwest and Iceland have also been inspiration for her work. Trying to capture a moment of that experience with a fresh and emotional response is an important goal with each outing.
The watercolor medium allows the freedom to be more spontaneous and discover sometimes unexpected surprises in how the paint moves on the paper. It is fine balance between controlling and letting go to achieve results that are fresh and energetic. Donna spent a fulfilling and dedicated career as an art teacher. With a love for teaching, she instructs watercolor classes at times with the South County Art Association.
She is active in a member in many art organizations and exhibits in numerous juried shows. Her work has been shown at: South Kingstown Art Association – South Kingstown, RI; Wickford Art Association – North Kingstown, RI; RI Watercolor Society – Pawtucket, RI; Lyme Art Association – Old Lyme, Ct.; Mass Arts Center – Mansfield, Ma.; Spring Bull Gallery – Newport, RI
She is currently an active member in The Artists’ Cooperative Gallery of Westerly where she exhibits her work monthly.
