Artist Statement:
See all my available Performers Series of musicians and singers at www.PerformersArt.com and my other work at www.DonnaDecter.com. My toll free no. in North America is 1.866.598.0101.
I came to be an artist relatively late in life. Initially, I was willing to do what was expected of me (Sciences and Law at University). I never tired of the learning, but I always felt something was missing.

The early recognition that I have received from exhibition jurors and collectors has been a tremendous affirmation of my personal commitment to work as a professional artist.
Colour is now the primary focus of my life and my work. Art has the power to touch us deep in our souls and at the core of our humanity.

Artist Reviews:
“Decter is known as a painter ruled by (or is that ruling?) the full palette of color - at once explosive, electric and just shy of alarming. Here, she examines hues and shades that are more than two-dimensional. The work “paints a color” more than just providing a superficial covering...

Commissions:
Commissioning a painting by Donna is a pleasant and stress-free experience.
The process that Donna uses to create each Performers painting (Donna’s series of musicians and singers) naturally lends itself to collectors having a very clear picture of the composition and color scheme before the actual painting begins.
