DONNA DONGHONG ZHANG was born in the Jilin
Province of China in 1958. She went on to study
art for about 13 years, achieving mastery in the
techniques of etching. Donna is formally trained
as an art educator, first at an institute in
China in the 1980s, and during the 1990s at
Japans Saitama University where she obtained a
Masters Degree of Arts. In 1999 in Tibet she
came into close contact with its indigenous
peoples and was struck by their strength, dignity
and openness. The 1999 trip and two further trips
in 2001 and 2002 were the inspiration for Donnas
current work in portraiture, which reflects
better than words ever could the profound beauty
and resilience she sees in the faces of her
subjects. As Donna says simply, Their clothes
are not clean, but their hearts are pure.
