"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way- things I had no words for."
– Georgia O’Keefe
ABOUT THE ARTIST
My enduring interests as a painter include the transmission of light through color, the materiality of paint, and intuitive, intentional processes. I create tactile and spatial relationships through gestural marks, layered surfaces, and generally bright palettes in my ongoing exploration of abstract forms.

I am pleased to announce Horizons & Environs, a solo exhibition of recent works at The Painting Center.
Exhibition Dates: September 3 – 28, 2024
Reception: Thursday, September 5, from 5 – 8 PM
Intimacy and Light in Horizons & Environs
essay by Paul D’Agostino
Donna Scarpa’s recent paintings showcased in Horizons & Environs constitute a chromatically vibrant, compositionally enlivened suite of works that buzz, brim, and burst with aesthetic freshness. Wholly palpable in these zestful compositions is the artist’s unfettered enthusiasm for varied approaches to abstract formalities and nature-inspired subjects alike – and for charting new territory in her ongoing investigations of the revelatory potential of pictorial light.
