Hello, my name is Donna Holmes. I am a Mixed-Media Artist. I enjoy exploring abstracted botanical paintings in graphite, acrylics, watercolours, and collage materials.
I have recently completed 3 years as a mature art student at Art Academy East. I have learnt many artistic techniques and skills. I have also built a wonderful artist network.
I take many online courses. My current favourites are Karen Campbell, an Artist at Awesome Artschool and Ros Gervay at Art for the Heart.
I sold my first painting at a gallery exhibition in West Norfolk in 2022. It was an exhilarating experience. It has given me the desire to continue to create. I want to share my art with people. I have since sold further pieces, and continue to make art that thrills me.
I moved to Norfolk UK as a child and I have never left! I am married to Rob. Our daughter is in her first year at University. Our son is embarking on his GCSEs. I am lucky enough to have my own Art Studio in our garden, my amazing husband built it. It is a space where I can escape to create my art, whenever I want.
“We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.”
