Justin Donaldson

Artist / Art Educator

Bio

Justin Donaldson creates beautifully lush landscapes in gouache from his homebase in Clemson, SC. His inspiration is built on the need for peace and tranquility. In the hunt for these qualities he traverses forests, fields and rivers and takes his paints to the far reaches of nature. Justin explores nature and his materials with students and other artists, finding joy and a deeper understanding of his work through his teaching.

Justin’s work is created primarily with gouache, poster color and open acrylics within the confines of his many sketchbooks.
