ALUMNI GALLERY: DANA DONATY '88

May 3 – July 12, 2025

his exhibition presents new works on canvas by Dana Donaty and emphasizes her longtime practice of creating maximalist, color saturated images that explore the absurdities of everyday life while exposing the darker sides of culture. Grounded in feminist perspectives, Donaty's work challenges the pervasive sexism that has long shaped—and continues to influence—women’s lives. From the poetics of the body’s interior spaces to explorations of energy work and healing, each artwork interrogates the paradox of empowerment within patriarchal structures.

Dana Donaty '88 is a Colombian American artist, born in Columbus, Ohio, and raised in New Jersey. After spending twelve years in London, England, she moved to South Florida, where she lives and works. She earned her BFA in Drawing from Moore College of Art & Design, Philadelphia, PA., and her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York.

Donaty’s multimedia practice of painting, sculptural assemblage, fiber, text-based work, and performance examine themes of the longest revolution: women. With a sense of humor and play, She blends personal and political narratives to explore all the big emotions of living in a female body— celebrating its strength, magic, beauty and hope while navigating the challenges of equality,  aging, health and disabilities.  Using a vibrantly colored, maximalist aesthetic, she emphasizes the absurdities of everyday life while exposing the darker sides of culture.

RINGS!

Since the time of the ancient Egyptians, humans have adorned their fingers with ornamental jewelry. From signifying one's marital status to protecting the wearer from forces of evil, rings have served practical, symbolic and decorative purposes throughout history and across cultures. On view June 5 - July 17, 2021 RINGS! offered a glimpse into the boundless creative freedom revealed within the ring form. Featuring work from Australia, Austria, England, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway Russia, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States, this international selection brings together over one hundred rings that demonstrate the artists’ wide-ranging expressions through a variety of aesthetic and conceptual ideas. From the traditional techniques of metalsmithing to avant-garde materials and approaches, the rings on view will offer a new examination of the cultural, political, and personal meanings of the ring itself. RINGS! was organized by Helen Drutt and researched by Elizabeth Essner with assistance from Colleen Terrell.
