Donna Greenstein

I live on a farm north of Toronto, Ontario where my husband and I run an organic cow-calf operation. Thirty years ago I established an organic fruit orchard and a garden containing vegetables, fruits, annuals and perennials. I taught high school for 28 years and am now happily retired.

My group Kaleidoscope had a two-month show called “Nature’s Kaleidoscope” at the King Township Museum. I have also exhibited with Skylight Gallery in Aurora, the John B. Aird Gallery in Toronto, Canada Blooms in Toronto, the Heschel Arts Festival in Thornhill, the Bindertwine Festival in Kleinburg, Neilson Park Exhibition in Etobicoke, and the Festival of the Arts in Aurora.

My two passions are gardening and art so consequently I combine them into botanical watercolours. I am partial to multiple glazes to capture the luminosity of the fruit and vegetables that I love to paint. All of my works are originals painted from life on hot-press paper. The magnificence of each leaf, stem and flower takes my breath away; everything in nature is astounding.

If one really loves nature, one can find beauty everywhere. (Vincent Van Gogh)
