Excerpts from the press about Kauai artist Donia and her work:

"Donia’s paintings are like the dreamscape on which we might enact our deepest
thoughts, fantasies or truth. They are color set to music, as if we had syncopated the
pigment. They are swimming, eyes open, under water. They are rolling all the way
down the hill. They are dancing with our eyes shut." - Monterey County Herald

"Donia Lilly calls herself an ethyrical artist, and we’re not about to argue it. In fact, she is producing some of the most emotive art out there…" - Perigee Publication for the Arts

"Donia’s "finger paintings" are mature and thought provoking; they don't speak to her audience but stimulate their emotions. Aesthetic Evocations is a mesmerizing sensory experience." - Reno News & Review
