ABOUT BARBARA DONAHUE

Barbara Donahue is a full-time painter who experiences life through the vibrant and colorful eyes of children. She began her artistic journey by creating a vividly imaginative Animal Alphabet book for her seven grandchildren. This joy of painting for children blossomed into multiple art books and ignited her desire to teach. By incorporating her own books, Barbara developed a unique curriculum that blends art with storytelling. With a background in dance education and a passion for inspiring others, she helps her students build self-confidence through their artistic journeys.
