ANNEX MINI-EXHIBIT

Submitted by Marguerite Carver

Our Clubhouse Annex and Library is proud to announce its first MINI-EXHIBIT which features original artwork created by Rose Hill’s own Donna Raines.

Donna’s “art career” began 27 years ago when a friend reminded her of her fondness for painting horses. There upon, she produced artwork, primarily on glass, for horse enthusiasts in all equine disciplines.

Donna’s long term equestrian interest was an ideal fit to reach many horse lovers. She supplied trophies to the New York State Fair, attended the Equine Affaire, created unique trophies for various horse events in the Northeast and designed a set of dinnerware for the VP of Tiffany’s.

In early 2022, she was encouraged to enter artwork in the Society of Bluffton Artists (SoBA)

28th Annual Juried Show. Donna won in the “Acrylic Division” with her alligator; “Tom Brady” painted on wood board. Interestingly, the painting name was inspired by two Rose Hill neighbors. Kevin Brady took the original photo and Tom Cambron donated the wood plank he cut from a felled Rose Hill tree.

Since joining SoBA, Donna continues to expand her portfolio and we look forward to future offerings. This show will remain in place at our Annex through September 30. Each piece is for sale. Artist contact information is affixed to each item. The Annex is open daily during daylight hours.

Please stop by at your leisure to enjoy these delightful pieces of native art and spend some time in our very comfortable Library.
