Donna J. Crenshaw, a Tennessee native, has lived and studied in Arkansas most of her adult life. She currently resides in Hot Spring, Arkansas. Striving to more fully express her inner visions and a mood or statement about her subject, she continues to study techniques. Primarily a portraitist, she interviews her client and the subject, followed by one to three photo sessions and a quick color study. After photographing her subjects she usually requests a brief sitting before completing the portrait in oil.

"I strive to make a statement about my subject's personality in each composition. A mood or feeling about the subject should be evoked, and sometimes one is able to achieve a composition appealing in its own right. This is always my goal."
