New work by Donna Kessinger arrives for Jersey City Pride Month at Mana
Kessinger is a working artist and curator in the New York metro area and encourages collaboration between her emerging artists and their communities. Her projects mainly focus on works that result in a marriage of art and commerce in the form of possible interventions, performative works, and public art projects which also can be executed seamlessly into traditional gallery exhibitions.
“My paintings are a part of letting the world pass through me and onto the canvas,” says Kessinger. “The process changes slightly with new technologies, but has stayed the same for nearly 30 years, involving layering of unfocused abstract imagery, textures or following the light in my studio, removal, sealing it with wax or in recent work leaving the images exposed.”
