Over 20 years ago Donna took an interest in the Native American craft of making pine needle baskets and began a very creative journey. This included doing on the average of 25 Art & Craft shows a year as well as displaying in gift stores and Art Galleries. This led to request for teaching the art to others. She has taught in several art galleries as well as the lifetime learning college at the Villages. She has taught the art to hundreds of students, adults seniors as well as children. Most of Donna's work in recent years in addition to teaching has been custom orders from repeat customers and collectors of the art. She still furnishes few upscale gift stores and galleries with her work.
