DONNA FENSTERMAKER
Donna Fenstermaker is inspired by the natural world. She is always carefully observing her surroundings, memorizing fleeting changes in atmosphere and light until she can spend time in her studio and record her interpretation of the moment. Her abstracted landscapes are deeply informed by her mastery of printmaking, with flat expanses of light and dark color employed to create the illusion of depth.
Fenstermaker received her BA from San Jose State University with a concentration in ceramics, and her MFA in printmaking from California College of Arts and Crafts (now CCA). She has taught art in the Contra Costa Community College District for over twenty years. She is an active participant in the Bay Area contemporary art community, often exhibiting her work multiple times per year. Media include painting, drawing, bookmaking, sculpture, and printmaking.
