Dona Gelsinger
Dona Gelsinger was born in Phoenix, Arizona and moved to the Los Angeles area two years later. Encouraged by her grandfather, who was an artist, Dona soon developed a keen interest in painting. She graduated from California State University at Long Beach with a Bachelor's Degree in Art. Her beginning efforts concentrated mainly on portraits and landscapes. Her first major commission was to paint the Stations of the Cross for St. Denis, a Catholic church being constructed in Diamond Bar, CA. This project, the creation of 14 near life-size paintings, consumed her artistic energies for nearly two years, and won her widespread acclaim. Since then, Dona Gelsinger's works have become highly sought by art connoisseurs who find her unique figurative art portrayals of tender moments in everyday life both soothing and inspiring. To satisfy this growing demand for her work, Dona established Little Angel Publishing, which creates canvas prints of her paintings. She often adds a small symbol to her works: a "J" for her son Jesse, or an angel to commemorate her son, Jacob. Dona and her family now live in southern Oregon, an area of spectacular beauty that inspires her paintings.
