Donna Carrington grew up in southeast Kansas, and has been drawing and painting all of her life. A resident of Overland Park, she began painting professionally in the 1960s. She received formal instruction at the Kansas City Art Institute, the Studio Delaware and at the University of Kansas, where she studied with Robert Sudlow, who introduced her to plein air painting. Donna’s painting style has evolved over time from soft, impressionistic works to more dramatic, color-drenched, large-format paintings that celebrate the unique Kansas landscape. She says, “I feel less confined when using a larger canvas and am attracted to the rolling vistas of Kansas and the wide open skies.” A favorite painting venue for Donna is the Flint Hills where she says, “… time stands still, there is a peaceful and unreal quality about the land.” Donna has exhibited in many solo, juried and invitational shows, winning numerous awards. Her work is included in private and corporate collections throughout the United States and South America.
