*About the Artist:
Donna Catotti, (b. 1950) is a distinguished and versatile artist residing in the breathtaking surroundings of Haines, Alaska. With a Bachelor of Design from the University of Florida Architecture School, her artistic explorations have included serigraphy, oil painting, pastel, sculpture, and watercolor. She shares her artistic haven, Catotti and Goldberg Art Studio with her husband, artist and luthier, Rob Goldberg. The studio is located on the peninsula six miles south of Haines, Alaska, a small community on the upper end of the Inside Passage.

Immersed in the majesty of mountains and oceans, abundant wildlife and marine life, and the extensive gardens they have created over 35 years, Donna draws much of her inspiration from her natural surroundings. Her subjects run the gamut from landscape to still life and floral, to portrait and figure. Her portfolio showcases a captivating blend of her latest paintings for upcoming competitions and exhibitions, as well as her contemporary graphic-style hand-printed original serigraphs.

Donna’s artistic journey has been marked by notable achievements, including many successful entries and awards in prestigious juried competitions. Her art has graced renowned venues such as the National Arts Club and Salmagundi in New York, the Haggin Museum in Stockton, CA, the Booth Museum in Cartersville, GA, and many others. Her complete curriculum vitae is on her website.

A member of many professional arts organizations, she acts as Alaskan Ambassador to the Portrait Society of America, curating shows and providing outreach for the state’s members. She attends their annual conference to learn from the best of the best, and was thrilled recently for being chosen as a finalist in their 2023 Members Only Competition in the landscape category for her painting “On the Edge of Time”.

In addition to her impressive artistic accolades, Donna Catotti shares her passion for art education by hosting annual Studio Incamminati “In Your Town” Portrait Workshops in Haines, Alaska with the school’s lead teachers from Philadelphia. The 7th annual workshop, scheduled for June 3-7, 2024, will be led by renowned instructor Kerry Dunn. Registration is available at studioincamminati.edu.

We invite you to explore the Catotti and Goldberg gallery on Voyij.com, where you can witness the artistry that unfolds from the heart of Alaska and acquire a piece that resonates with the beauty and serenity of Haines.

*What is a Hand Printed Serigraph?
Serigraphy is a silkscreen process used for fine art purposes. Out original prints are produced in limited editions as indicated in pencil below the image.
We make cut film stencils for screen printing, one for each color or blend of colors. A lacquer soluble film on a clear plastic backing is laid over a pattern, cut with an art knife, and peeled where you wish to print. The stencil is adhered to the screen in line with previous colors and the backing removed. The oil base ink is mixed, poured across the top of the screen, and the squeegee is “hand pulled by the artist”, pushing the ink through the fabric onto the paper below. This is repeated 200 times before that stencil is dissolved and the next one prepared. Sometimes we paint directly onto the screen with water soluble glue, another type of stencil.
These original serigraphs are produced and hand printed by Donna Catotti and Rob Goldberg in their studio on d’Arches Silkscreen 88, a 100% rag, neutral pH paper.
