Light, color and form are the foundation of Donald’s paintings, he has translated these elements and reinterpreted them through his writing. Words, ideas and structure have been his tools in executing his exploration of new themes and concepts.
Donald’s training as a painter at Toronto’s renowned Central Technical School, as a graduate of the University of Toronto and his Specialized Honors degree in the History of Art from York University, as well as life’s experiences, have created an in-depth basis for his writing.
Donald has worked as a graphic artist in television, a fashion designer and freelanced as a commercial artist and teacher. His paintings have been published and his originals can be found in Canadian collections as well as the U.S.A and Europe. His painting career paralleled this vocation having over thirty solo shows. He travelled the world from Beirut to Bali, which provided a rich resource for settings for his novels.
His recollections of his time in Greece, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and the people whom he met, as well as his journals, are recalled and reflected in his writing as he explores the morality and complexity of life’s offerings. His fictitious characters are close to the truth as he delves the mysteries below the façade that is life.ver menos
