Donna Van Tuyl is a pastel painter who after many career changes began painting in 2002.  Donna's interest as a child was drawing trees and horses, so it seemed natural for her to pursue the natural world of landscapes.                        
“I keep my life simple and quiet. Art is my career and it brings joy to our lives.  It is about peace and pace.  And it's about getting out in nature. I love to walk with the dog and when I am not looking for a painting, it finds me".
                                                                                                Donna lives in Goldendale, WA where she paints fulltime, at home with her supportive and loving husband and their spaniel.
