The artists philosophy has been to celebrate the artistry and vision of the old masters who portrayed detail and technical skill while pleasing the audience with images of contemporary subjects showing beauty and innocence. The art is about the positive aspects of life, the beauty that surrounds us, and images that bring peace and serenity to one's spirit. The art is straightforward in its interpretation. It is about the beauty of our world, and is intended to remind the audience of special times and places in their lives.

Donna Rey-Taylor was born in Ulm, West Germany in the post World War II era to a German mother and an American soldier. She has always felt a need to express her art in theater, in music as an accomplished organist and vocalist, and an interior designer. As her children became adults, she decided to pursue formal education at Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, MI. Her purpose was to develop her genre in a most professional and scholarly means by creating precise imagery. Continuing her education, she has worked with professional artists doing layout and also doing finish work as a secondary artist on murals. Her aptitude, education, and apprentice work has helped her evolve her talent to produce art with keen attention to detail with focus on composition and design elements.
