Donna Faranda by Donna Faranda

I have created works on paper for the past 30, but have not utilized a paint brush since I discovered that I could create art work on my computer. The computer, scanner, and computer software have become the tools of my medium. I use Photoshop to create a montage from images that I have either scanned in or found on the web. I then use Corel Painter, a raster-image program, which allows me to place dots as brush strokes, and create my pointillist pieces. Through the use of these programs, I have found a means in which to fulfill my desire to construct and organize my world
Through the use of a computer painting program, I can render the nobility of womankind. While working, I employ elements of collage in my paintings to conjure up images created from a mixture of fantasy, mood and symbolism, blended together in a variety of ways to create my own world. I try to communicate through these images, paintings that reflect these women's inner stories as well as their inner beauty.
