One of the most gifted students at the Kristy Bishop Studio, Donna Newkirk of West Camp, NY realized her love of painting only a few years ago. She has been involved in our annual shows since 2012 and has won several awards given by different judges over these years. She has also won Popular Vote contests at our annual Holiday Show at Lox of Bagels Shop. She has an intuitive eye for what the public loves and she is capable of rendering it in several media. She has become a wonderful friend to me as well.
