Donna Aldridge is an award-winning painter who is well-versed in several mediums but primarily uses pastels. Aldridge is a member of the Pastel Society of America and co-founder of the MidAmerica Pastel Society. "Color—in fascinating relationships—excites her most, played out on the foundation of an elegantly-engineered composition with dynamic movement and balances which lead the viewer on a journey through each piece. A strong sense of light and shadow or atmosphere as well as richly-applied pigment are additional hallmarks of Aldridge’s award-winning paintings."
