Artist Spotlight: Donna Hughes (Figuratives)

If a person is a product of their environment, then Donna Hughes was destined to be an artist. If a person is predetermined by heredity, then Donna was fated to be an artist. If education makes us what we are, then Donna pursued and accomplished the path of an artist. Donna grew up in New York City surrounded by art museums, architecture, and artist. Her first memory of her father, Vincant Cassaro, was behind an easel, painting commissions. Under her father’s tutelage, she seemed a prodigy at the age of ten. She transitioned easily into her education at the prestigious School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. For the past twenty years Donna has been painting professionally. She has been commissioned by designers throughout the world. She began as a traditional portrait artist, and still continues to capture the essence of her subjects on a canvas. Feeling the need for even greater individual expression, Donna added contemporary oil landscapes to her body of work. Her oil landscapes have a calming effect popular to many collectors.  She enjoys working on both residential and commercial commissions throughout the country. She believes every piece will lead to an inspiration to her next work of art. She has recently launched a new abstract series. This collection exhibits her great strength in the understanding of color and composition. “For me, painting has been a passion! There always has been an internal desire to recreate the beauty around me.”
