Donna Dodson
Donna Dodson graduated cum laude from
Wellesley College in 1990 with a Bachelor of
Arts. Her pre-med studies and her passion for
Egyptian art led her to study sculpture with
Joseph Wheelwright at his studio in Boston in
1995. She continued her studies in sculpture
with Peter Haines at his studio in Cambridge by
learning how to abstract and resolve forms.
Since 2000, Dodson has been honored with solo
shows in New York, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Kansas, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
Dodson enjoys public speaking, and has been a
guest speaker in conferences, panels and
forums at the University of Rhode Island,
Pittsburg State University, School of Visual Art
and Stonehill College. She is a member of the
International Sculpture Center, National
Association of Women Artists and the Women’s
Caucus for Art. In May 2007 she started the Art
Salon Boston at her studio in Jamaica Plain to
meet artists of all disciplines and host monthly
conversations on topics of interest to artists in
Boston and beyond.
