Donna Pellegata

Over the past 28 years Donna Pellegata has created numerous works of art for residential and commercial sites internationally. These works include murals, finishes, portraits, commissioned paintings, hand painted furniture, floor cloths, jewelry and lampworking. Recently Donna has painted mainly pastel people and pet portraits but occasionally has fallen off the wagon and has gone the acrylic route. She also likes folk artsy kind of stuff, so she just goes on a whim with that genre too at times. She used to paint tons of murals but as the houses got bigger and the ceilings got taller, she became more afraid she was going to “break her noggin”, so now she sticks close to the ground. Donna also likes to dabble with lampworking and sometimes goes off on a full fledged tangent with that, just depends on her mood... she’s currently collaborating on a children's book, doing the illustrations while the author Diane Dunn strings her pearls of eloquence from page to page for children to enjoy.

Linda Onderko loves working with many different media including colored pencil, pen & ink, watercolor, acrylics, collage and also mixing a variety of these together. She has different work stations set up where she can work on several projects concurrently, depending on what mood strikes her (or where that muse is hanging out at a given time). She credits her memberships and friendships in the VFAA and HVCA for constant sources of inspiration and support.
