SEATTLE TIMES
...Above all, however, go to see the marvelous Donna Collins. Collins also resides in Michigan, albeit in Kalamazoo. There, she makes art while caring for her family. With an upbeat spirit clearly influenced by her two children, Collins makes impressively innocent yet inventive work.
Her materials are a mixed bag of delights: glitter and brown wrapping paper, tempera paints and sewing notions. Her bright, exuberant 3-D pieces are framed in vintage windows; their funky wit and brilliant palette is truly irresistible.
Yet her art has rigor; its humor and its upbeat brilliance are double-edged. This has been recognized by her growing cult of collectors, which include the actresses Susan Sarandon and Roseanne, as well as their fellow L.A. resident Courtney Love. If you feel like joining their ranks, make sure you get to the Garde Rail early.
