Donna Moran Bio & Statement
These works on panel combine mixed media with analog painting interventions that blend landscape, fantasy, and architecture.
Having grown up in the tornado belt and then moving to the East Coast, the visual evidence of the destructive power of storms, combined with the threatening nature of our current political climate, has combined to make my work increasingly dark, so that what was once buoyant and bright has become, through layering and additional mark- making reflective of our climate.
I begin by collaging earlier prints, drawings, and paintings, sometimes digitally printing on labels and sometimes using the silkscreen print as the substrate. In this way my work re-asserts itself as new imagery. The next step involves further mediation with acrylic paint. My work is experimental in nature and these pieces are both finished as well as the potential source of future work. As my practice progresses I increasingly value the evidences of past architecture recycled, re-imagined, and re-conceptualized anew.
Donna Moran, a resident of Montclair, NJ is a professor of Fine Art at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. From 2001 to 2012 she chaired the Fine Arts Department overseeing both the BFA and MFA programs and was later the Dean of the PrattMWP campus in Utica NY.
Donna has been a Visiting Artist at The American Academy in Rome, an Artist in Residence at The Vermont Studio Center, The Centre for Fine Print Research (UWE) in Bristol, England, and U Gratzie Ceramica in Deruta, Italy. Her work has been widely exhibited in the US and abroad, including New York, Australia, Brazil, Peru, Italy, and Spain.
