Dr. Hughes-Saurina began drawing and painting in watercolor shortly after moving to lower Bucks County in 1985 to practice veterinary medicine. Her paintings are full of light and color that resonates through contrast and complements. Expressive eyes bring animal faces to vibrant life. Shapes morph and flow into fanciful creatures. She works in transparent watercolor or acrylic on absorbent ground on hardboard to acheive glowing glazes.
Donna developed her company, Catfish Graphics, to distribute note cards and reproductions as well as 3-D works in acrylic on wood or stone. Her pieces may be found in shops and galleries from Malvern to Pittsburgh, PA and selected shows and exhibitions. Each year, her new Christmas card designs are anticipated and collected. Donna Hughes-Saurina divides her time between veterinary practice and painting. She lives in Langhorne, PA with her husband, garden and two very spoiled cats.
