​BIO

Donna Holdsworth was born in Northeastern Ohio.  She has lived in Lake County for most of her life.  Donna is a self taught artist.  Her education has come from books, internet study and webcasts given by other artists.  Her own daily painting has helped to focus her work into a direction all its own.  Donna's works are created using mixed media and collage techniques.  She has shown her work in various group and juried exhibits and has snagged an award or two along the way.  Her works are held in private collections both throughout the USA and internationally.
