About Art by Donna Turpin 💫

The story behind Art by Donna Turpin

Welcome!

My name is Donna, and I am a self-taught artist based in Dorset, UK.

Specialising in realism, my focus is on capturing the spirit and soul of animals, wildlife, and landscapes. My art is fueled by a lifelong love of the countryside and nature. As a dog owner to a lively cocker spaniel and the former proud owner of a beautiful Appaloosa horse, I understand just how deeply we connect with our animals.

I work primarily in acrylics to translate that exact bond into my pet portraits, while also exploring watercolour, gouache and occasionally soft pastel for my other pieces.

Alongside my nature artwork, I love the freedom to paint whatever takes my fancy, ensuring every piece is filled with genuine passion!
