"Creative Crush" is our monthly artist feature highlighting the work of one of our artists. Each Creative Crush is accompanied by a special collection of new work from the featured artist!

This month's crush is Donna Walker with her happy homes and abstracted landscapes! With an inventive use of color and boldly simplified forms, Donna captures the landscapes and the homes that dwell within them in such a thoughtful and unique way. Exploring her work is like taking a little road trip. You can always find a familiar view and something new.
