Donna Surprenant was born in Massachusetts, USA
in 1953. Since she first began painting over thirty years ago,
nature and art impel her to live with brush in hand. Her love for
the great masters of light throughout the centuries has drawn her to
museums across the country and Europe, and over the years she has
participated in numerous workshops to further develop her skills of
perceptual paintings.
In 1981 she moved to Canada to become a member
in a Catholic community of men and women where she resides as a
full-time painter. This rich experience of reflection and activity
gives her a unique environment within which to paint. The motifs for
still life come from an awareness of the beauty and silence offered
in an ordered arrangement of humble objects. Gathered from the
community’s kitchen or garden, they reveal an intimate world of
place and presence. She discovers in the process of painting their
complexity of colour and texture, their light and form, a visual
poetry which teaches her how to see with greater clarity and quiet
joy.
