Donna Hanna specializes in digital composites. She creates award-winning compositions by grouping, manipulating, and styling digital images to create customized art. Donna developed her unique style and passion for digital art while attending the Kansas City Art Institute. Donna’s work is inspired by nature, her faith, and the concept that everything is in a constant state of transformation. Just as a seed planted in the ground grows and blossoms into a flower or tree, the artist uses their imagination, color, shapes, light, and textures to create works of art, whether digital or on a blank canvas. Donna also paints in oils/acrylics and creates handmade jewelry. Her digital work and paintings can be viewed/purchased at Saint Luke’s East Hospital in Lee’s Summit, MO and other venues throughout Kansas City, MO and surrounding areas.

Donna is a member of Summit Art where she serves on the Jury Committee, and the Raytown Artists’ Association where she serves on the Publicity Committee. She is also an Associate member of Oil Painters of America (OPA) and the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society (NOAPS).
