DONNA DUTRA WHAT NOT SECURITY

My artistic mission is to enlighten the viewer, to create a clear awareness of the inherent spirit of the animals I portray. I strive to use my talents and skills to capture their individual essence. I believe each painting must have its own life and existence. I also believe the animals I paint must be portrayed with the detailed accuracy they deserve. Then art and animal are both honored and well served.
