Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Donald was born in Philadelphia, raised in south-central Pennsylvania and currently resides in Lancaster. Growing up in rural spaces, nature had a central role in his life and artwork. As part of his practice, he integrates painting and sculpture with everyday materials and traditional medium. His work is a response to the past, present and future preservation of these rural spaces. Donald begins his creative process with direct observation sketches, then develops images by using vivid colors, found objects and playful interpretations centered around meditation, memory and the passage of time. Donald invites the viewer to a new way of seeing, where color, texture and materials take precedence over realistic representation and offer a new way of experiencing our rural environments.
