Donna is a self-taught artist who lives on a farming property with her husband near the small town of Goolgowi in the Riverina (between Griffith and Hillston).
Having had an appreciation for art since she was very young, Donna was inspired by a talented friend for many years before giving painting a go herself in 2019. At that time, the farm was suffering from drought and Donna found relief in painting. It also gave her a purpose, as their three daughters had all grown up, and Donna was suffering from the dreaded ‘empty nest syndrome”!
Having always lived on the land and produced and shown horses most of her life, Donna’s subjects, consequently, are mostly farm animals and horses!
“Molbrook” was the name of Donna’s stud prefix when breeding horses, so that’s where the name came from – “Molbrook Art”.
Donna paints using acrylics and loves adding detail to bring her subjects to life on the canvas. Thus, giving her subjects a personality and a soul. Her passion for the land and her love for animals is evident in her paintings.
