About the Juror
Donna Zagotta, AWS/NWS, active professionally for more than 20 years, Donna Zagotta is a nationally recognized artist and teacher. She has accumulated numerous awards including first place awards in the 2005 Arizona Watercolor Association Exhibition and the 1997 Watercolor West Annual, second place award in the 1999 National Watercolor Society Exhibition, the 2008 Samuel Leitman Award and the 2000 Ogden and Mary Pleissner Award in American Watercolor Society exhibitions. She is an elected member of the American Watercolor Society, National Watercolor Society, Watercolor West, and Midwest Watercolor Society. Her work appears in ten books and eleven magazines, she has written three magazine feature articles, and her work appears on the cover of Rockport Publishers' Watercolor Expressions and the Artist's Magazine. She was selected as Watercolor Magic Yearbook 2001's Ones to Watch, and was featured in Watermedia Focus Magazine's An Artist Worth Noting. Donna has been teaching workshops and jurying national exhibitions since 1990.
Donna has a passion for art history with a special interest in Modernism and finds inspiration in the work of Edouard Vuillard, Henri Matisse, and Richard Diebenkorn, master painters who were more focused on expressing color and spatial ideas than in rendering the particulars of subject matter.
Of her work she says, "My current interest lies in exploring the area that lies between realism and abstraction and I choose subjects that are open to both possibilities. Mood, gesture, abstract shapes, minimal detail, value patterns, imaginative color, and luscious strokes of paint - these are what ignite my passion!"
