I'm Donna Marie Vance,  a native born Texan, born at Fort Hood (an army brat) but have lived in Fort Worth all my life.  I revel in the creative process, the medium or tools are almost irrelavant.  I love the mental escape made possible by immersing myself into a piece of work.  I remember many times in middle school and high school waiting until everyone was asleep  so I could paint thru the night.  I've explored many different mediums including very large outside metal sculptures, watercolor, mixed media collage, oil painting, and photography.  Currently I'm fascinated with acrylic painting and wood burning.  My best days are those when an idea is so compelling I don't want to leave my studio until it is complete.
