Artist Biography

Artist Dona Gelsinger, who was born in Phoenix, Arizona, is renowned in the art world and among collectors for her beloved art, prints and posters of angels, nature and Christmas. Her exceptional talent was encouraged early on by her grandfather, who was also an artist himself. After graduating from California State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Art, Gelsinger's first major commission was to paint the Stations of the Cross for St. Denis Church in Diamond Bar, California. This project, the creation of 14 near life-size paintings, consumed her artistic energies for nearly two years and won her widespread acclaim. Dona Gelsinger's art, prints and posters have become highly sought by art connoisseurs who find her unique figurative art portrayals both soothing and inspiring.

She entered the collectibles market in 1996 with The Bradford Exchange who launched her highly successful "Garden Blessings” collection, followed a year later by "Nature's Heavenly Guardians”. It soon became apparent that Dona Gelsinger was on her way to becoming a plate-market icon. Her art, prints and posters have also been featured on limited edition ornament collections, tea sets, spice jars, music boxes and much more. In 1998, Dona Gelsinger added to her accolades with her selection by the Bradford Exchange as the 1998 Collector's Choice Artist of the Year.

It has always been the focus and dream of the Gelsinger family to bring Dona's art, prints and posters to the world on different product forms for all to enjoy. Through years of hard work and determination, her artwork is now licensed on hundreds of quality products ranging from prints and greetings cards to home décor, house-wares and collectibles. Dona's deep sense of personal spirituality helps her in creating new and exciting pieces of art with great sensitivity and expression. She draws inspiration from the spectacular Pacific coast and from the beautiful Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon, where she and her family now live.
