Donna Shipman
About: I live on 30 acres in the woods with my partner, two dogs, a cat and 24 chickens and a sun filled studio. I have a BFA in printmaking from MSU. I collect vintage black and white photos. My favorite color is ruby Red. I love to travel and work in my garden. I currently work as a gallery lead at Motawi tileworks.
What I love to create: I love everything paper. Upcycled, found, recycled, fold it, paint on it, sew it, or glue it. Anything paper. Most of my current work is using watercolor.
My inspiration? Why I make? Art has been the creative road map of my life. Telling my story and finding my voice. Paper brings me joy. My inspiration comes from nature and events, personal and political.
