Working in oil and cold wax, Lois Donaghey creates abstract expressionist landscapes and meditative compositions shaped by her background in psychology and a strong family tradition in art. She uses a palette knife to apply layered color and texture, building paintings that combine spontaneity with deliberate control. Donaghey’s work centers on the interplay between consciousness and the wider universe, reflecting a personal, contemplative approach to abstraction.
