Celebrating Donna Magrath: Resilience and Creativity

Written by

Local artist Donna J. Magrath is a native New Yorker who came South for a relationship that didn’t survive but gave her an opportunity to fall in love with a place she has called home since 2012. New York’s loss is Columbia’s gain!

Magrath’s ancestors included Russian immigrants

a passionate advocate for equal justice

Magrath’s creativity as an artist finds expressions

in varieties of forms,

but her authenticity, courage, and perseverance in her art deserve celebration.

Magrath’s latest work: the East Wing of the White House and Rose Garden before demolition

The East Wing contained the Office of the First Lady and played a key role in the visibility of women in the White House, according to The 19th. News.

But, of course, if the Office of the First Lady is gone, no one will notice she’s not there.

    I love this! How to be both simple and sophisticated all at once. Wonderful lighthearted drawings that speak volumes. And of course your point about the symbolism of erasing the East Wing and the Rose Garden is right on target.

    Thank -you for sharing Donna’s art work.
