This has led to her becoming an internationally exhibited environmental fine art photographer as well. Donna’s fine art photography seeks to express through the universal language of sight, our global environmental issues, and to honor nature in all of its perfection. She has even adopted the brand name, donna-terra, to signify her commitment to the natural world.
