Artist Bio
Donna Stelly, a native of Thibodaux, Louisiana, is a self-taught
photographer who now resides in Gonzales, Louisiana. She is an avid bird
photographer but has a special passion for still life photography. As she says,
“Being able to set up a scene with different props such as flowers, food or
musical instruments, I can create art that is only limited by my imagination. I
love being able to light a subject in different ways to create texture and a
perspective not seen with the naked eye.” Donna often uses a technique known
as “light painting” where she sets up a scene in a dark room then illuminates
the subject by “painting” light on the subject using a simple flashlight. All of
this is done while her camera is set on a tripod and exposing the shot for
several seconds.
Donna’s photography has won several awards. Her photograph titled,
“Spanish Romance” won the first place ribbon at the River Region Awesome Art
contest in Gonzales, La. Her photograph, “Bread Pudding Southern Style” was
on exhibit at the Shaw Center for the Arts after placing third in the national
Brush With Burden art contest in Baton Rouge.
