Donna Orme is an experimental artist. She began by studying the process of producing an etching on an aluminum plate submerged in a copper sulfate solution and making oil-based monotypes on Mylar. Ms. Orme continued experimenting with chine collé to add color, rhythm, texture and mood to various printmaking techniques. Recently, Ms. Orme became interested in producing acrylic monotypes on clearbag plates without the use of a press, collages from acrylic skins and collagraphs on Stryene or Polycarbonate sheets. She works from vaguely felt thoughts and feelings that are expressed in the colors and forms which emerge through her art. Eye-catching images have a sense of movement and spontaneity making them playful, lively and energetic.

Ms. Orme studied printmaking at the College of San Mateo, CA and at the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto, CA. She has won many national, state and local awards, is a Signature Member of the National Collage Society and her work was selected by VISA for the 2007 Wall Calendar. Her work appears in the American Art Collector, Book 1, Volumes 2 and 3 – Western States (2005/06). She is a member of the California Society of Printmakers, was past president of Allied Artists West, is newsletter editor for the Santa Clara Art Association and actively volunteers on the steering committee for the Los Gatos Museums Gallery where she exhibits her work. Ms. Orme supports the community by giving demonstrations to groups in the techniques of collagraph and acrylic monotypes. She is also available for private workshops in her studio in Santa Clara, CA.

Ms. Orme’s work is collected nationally and internationally. Ms. Orme has exhibited her work in California at the Performing Arts Center, Mountain View; Intel, Santa Clara; the Foster City Art Gallery; Advanced Micro Devices, Sunnyvale; the Pacific Art League, Elizabeth Norton Studio, Palo Alto as well as national exhibitions with the National Collage Society, Ohio; Ottawa Ecole School D’Art of Art, Canada; The Cultural Arts Council of Douglasville/Douglas County, Georgia; Northwest Cultural Council, Illinois; Cambridge ART 10th Annual National Prize Show, Massachusetts; 19th Parkside National Small Print Exhibition, Wisconsin; Visual Arts Society of Texas; Art Center of Estes Park, Colorado and Mesa Contemporary Arts, Arizona.
