Artist Opening: Durable Beauty by Alice Donaldson

Alice Donaldson’s work will be on view from November 2, 2009 through November 14 as part of a continuing series of exhibitions of local artists’ works hosted by Drinkwater’s. Her interest in photography begun early with a camera received as a gift from her father along with inspiration from her uncle’s gorgeous black and white prints.

After graduating from New England School of Photography she put it to practice as a portrait photographer—her work has appeared on book jackets, CD covers, magazines and a book cover.

She is now branching into more textural and metaphoric images with her photos of metal and wood grown old with time and hard use—lives of utility. These are the subjects of this show.
