Artwork Description

The lotus flowers along Ross River, in Townsville, North Queensland is where I got my inspiration for Joy. I used to go for walks along the river and the late afternoon sun shining on the lotus pods was so beautiful. The colours were amazing, pinks, purples and blue tinged greens really popped in the late afternoon sun. The flowers and lotus pods are done on fine delicate paper and gold leaf was also used in the painting. On these papers I have done delicate drawings, painted them in watercolour and then collaged onto the main painting.
This is a small round birch wood board, it comes with a black small metal easel so it can be displayed on a coffee table or it can be hung on the wall.

Donna Maloney is a Brisbane based artist who predominantly works with watercolours and mixed media, and also loves to experiment and try different techniques in her work. She enjoys the natural progression of using mixed media, including oil sticks, acrylic, inks, and drawings on fine paper. Having experimented in many ways of using these beautiful and expressive mediums she has a well known style.
Her current work includes a series of coral reef paintings in watercolour and the Enchanted Blooms series which are the lotus flowers along Ross River in Townsville in mixed media. She was just recently commissioned to create a series of new works with a tropical reef theme that now is displayed in a new resort in the Maldives.

My art is inspired by memories of time I have spent in natural environments, walking along a beach with family or snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef. I also love exploring in National Parks and am usually the last one out because I have gathered so much inspiration with photos. Botanical gardens have always been a favourite as well and that’s where I got my inspiration for my Enchanted Lotus Flower paintings.
I feel so alive when exploring all of these locations and work hard to keep that feeling to be able to add sparkle and soul to my artwork. Ultimately when people look at my paintings I would like them feel uplifted and share the joy I seek to capture.
Donna has lived in North Queensland for 20 years amid the vibrancy of the tropics and seascapes filled with such beauty.
