Donna Varner

Donna Varner is a mixed media artist, and an 11-year veteran of Pluff Mudd Art. Her previous careers were in business—in retail merchandising and academia. In 2004 she chose to change directions and follow her muse. She has since traveled down a creative path that began with photography and has expanded into other mediums.

Donna's art is experimental in nature and reflects her affinity for depth and texture. Visually complex, cerebral, and colorful, the art invites contemplation. The more you look, the more you see.

The common thread of her artwork is that she uses layer upon layer of mediums to create visual and tactile texture. At its best, the process is very much in-the-moment, where art and artist are in a dialogue. The result is artwork with deep history that invites you to discover its soul.

Donna has exhibited at local arts festivals and juried exhibitions, at ArtFields, Lake City, SC, and locally with the Art Beyond Tradition Group. In addition to being a member of Pluff Mudd Art, she also shows her work at the Art League of Hilton Head.
