Donna Klein’s art is love made visible. With each touch of her computer mouse, the “seeds” of her photographs bloom from her soul in arrays of movement, color and meaning. A friend dubbed her “Pixel Pusher Extraordinaire.” She pushes her photos beyond their boundaries into digitally created works of her imagination. A consummate nature lover, she has a practiced eye for finding that dew-dropped sunlit spider web or a tiny green spike thrusting through cracked clay. The process starts when she begins manipulating a photo using her vivid imagination and her computer.

Art has always been a part of Klein’s life. She graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in fine art. When she moved to WA State, her pottery and etchings were shown in various galleries. In 1996, she moved to Arizona. Now a happily retired resident of Sedona, she jokes, “Gone are the days of pottery clay in my hair and etching ink under my nails. Just give me a nice clean keyboard, mouse and screen.”
