“Most of my drawings are inspired by the things in my life, the places I have been and the people that I love,” said Donahue, who began drawing in elementary school. “This is the very first time I am presenting my art work and I am thrilled to be sharing this experience with Mary.”
Gemme has been developing her skills in drawing, painting and stained glass since childhood. “Art is a very personal experience and my style reflects whatever catches my attention at the moment,” she said.
A reception for the artists will be held at the library on Thursday, Nov. 13, at 5 p.m.
