Artist: Donna Newman
Working with schools across the Midlands, Donna Newman seeks to inspire young people by transforming their learning environments with her vibrant artwork. She is a self-proclaimed addict of public art trails and has worked closely with Wild in Art on over 70 sculpture commissions, helping to raise more than £250,000 for charities through their sales. Donna’s fun and playful design sees the sculpture transformed into a giant cactus. Amusingly ironic, the artist has created a spiny plant out of the balloon dog form. With its feet rooted in Mexican style terracotta plant pots, the luscious green succulent is in bloom with vibrant pink flowers.
