Donna explores the back roads . . .

finding places that hearken back to the earlier time. Even though many cities in New Mexico have grown and expanded, it is the life and the culture of the past that continue to keep this artist enthralled. Her visits to Mexico and Guatemala elicit the same excitement and curiosity -- and paintings exude a wonderful mixture of the past and the present through vibrant color and texture.

To quote a recent article in Southwest Art Magazine written by Gussie Fauntleroy and featuring New Mexico Regionalist Painters:

"Donna Clair moved to Santa Fe in 1967 and within a month began painting the surrounding landscape
. . . Clair has been painting northern New mexico ever since . . ."I try to be as honest as possible in my work and paint what I believe, which is that being close to nature heals, that silence heals, and that art has the capacity to uplift and bring us to a better place."

"I'm sure the powers that be knew they made a mistake when they let me be born in Chicago–they just picked me up and blew me to where I belonged in the first place. I will always be grateful . . . ."

Donna's new web page features
The High Road Print Catalog remote a collection of archival giclee prints representing the strongest, most evocative images of her thirty-five year career. This is Donna's "journal"– a visual narrative of very long and interesting journey. New images will be added to this catalog regularly.
