<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We created and created and created...so that means we made more than what we could show! I will have 6 new Operation Boards to show at this week's upcoming Franklinton Fridays in the studio that wasn't able to fit in the Show! WOOOOOO!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
There will also be an AMAZING show going on inside of 400 West Rich too that I have been helping put together! THE AMAZING CAT SHOW! This is the second year for this show and 50% of all sales of art will be going back to Colony Cats plus there will be open studios that evening too! So please stop on by! The studio will be open and I will be running around getting cat art into eager new collector's hands!</div>

Franklinton Fridays is and event started in the art focused area of Eat Franklinton in Columbus, Ohio. It's become a fun event for families and a great date night and shopping destination! It's held every second Friday of the month and the event inside 400 West Rich runs from 7-10pm. I am in studio 121 downstairs and have several new pieces along with some oldies, all ready for sale and ready to hang or to give as gifts! Hope to see lots of folks out there! I also do commission work if you want something fun and unique as a gift!<br />
<br />
Check out my FB albums for old and new art! I can be emailed at donnaestep@rocketmail.com to check for availability of art or to request a commission!<br />

I had a great time making art for my 4th show at Short North Tavern. I titled the show "Animating Principle" because I feel that this show had a lot of soul interjected into it, both my own and the essence of the characters and persons that I was able to portray in my art. I feel like my style continues to grow and I'm able to pour more and more of myself into the pieces. I'm hoping to continue this new style into an upcoming show at St James Tavern...info to be announced shortly!</div>

It's been a long winter for the creative process, but Spring is coming :)<br />
<br />
The Creative Arts of Women just opened a show as The Fort Hayes Shot Tower, entitled Landmark. I showed a sneak peek of one of the pieces, but wanted to show off the entire series. Overall I think I am happy with the way that it turned out.<br />

This show is entitled Landmark and I've taken my inspiration from childhood landmarks...things that made me know that I was home. <br />
<br />
I haven't titled this piece yet, but this is an adaptation of a photograph by Kevin W. Jerrell that makes me think back to those days of being small and riding my bicycle around the small town where we lived.<br />

The end of the year is closing in and my last solo show of 2015 will be hosted by Rehab Tavern in the heart of East Franklinton. I'm super proud to call this area my second home with my studio right at 400 West Rich Street. <br />
<br />
Where Everyone Knows Your Name is the title of this show and it highlights(in the same vein as my other shows this year) movie characters and icons that I find particularly interesting.<br />
<br />
Take a look at a couple of the pieces that I have for this show. The Opening will be during Franklinton Friday this Friday, December 11th from 7-11pm. I'll have some exclusive digital prints for sale that night too. Something like me, a bit off kilter ;)<br />

The solo show "Familiar Faces" opened on Friday, May 8th and it was very successful. Talked to a lot of folks and hopefully made some new contacts. This show will be up for one more open studio and Farmer's Market on May 23rd from 11am-2pm. This will be the last chance to see all of these pieces together before they are scattered around at different venues around town!<br />

So excited for the springtime and all of the possibility. I am taking part in a show with the Creative Art of Women and have been hard at work pulling out something different and very emotional. My art is usually "just for fun"...but we'll see where this all takes me. Here is a little taste. This part is still in process but I'm feeling ok about where it is going. This is the playhouse that my father built for me when I was little. It was a childhood treasure to me and I spent many seasons inside.<br />

Urban Scrawl 8 is coming up this weekend! It's a two day mural creating festival held at 400 West Rich Art Studios in the heart of East Franklinton. I'm so excited to be chosen for a second year to be able to create a panel! And here is the sketch that I will be working with. Still a little pop art but not in my usual style. Something a little more fluid...</div>

A couple images of a piece that I recently created for the Ohio State Fair Fine Art Show...Didn't make it in but I had fun putting it together. The image is one that was taken of my parents and brother long before I came along. Looks to be about the late 60's...I didn't come around until '79, so a whole life before me. It's almost like looking into another family when I look at these pictures.</div>
