> art and faith
Throughout time artists have linked together art and faith to express their commitment and to communicate
truth and beauty. For artist Donna Mitchell, her faith now has become a motivating
force in her art.
As a Christian Donna desires that her paintings be stimulating, and loves to express truth and ideals. Donna's desire is to lift art from a human endeavour to a higher purpose.
Donna's Christian artworks mirror her own personal walk with God, and are expressions of her passion and love for Jesus Christ and God's creation. For it is these qualities that link us to our maker and draw us to Him in faith.
"As an artist my desire is to illuminate the soul and
spirit of my subject and uplift the hearts and minds of its viewers." |
