Donna Rosser is a fine art photographer who loves to
photograph the usual and every day scene. As a child growing up in rural
Virginia, she explored the woods with one grandfather and worked gardens with
both. Her mother worked as a museum curator so her grandparents were her
daycare. Each grandfather shared with her their natural knowledge; one speaking
of the animals and the trees and the other speaking of the sky and weather. Her
grandmothers had typical rural southern kitchens of the 60s and this is where
she also spent a lot of time. Donna is drawn to scenes that evoke childhood
memories. She also has a background in mathematics and psychology. This
cocktail of a southern childhood mixed with a museum-curator mother and a
classic-car flipping father make for an interesting perspective in her
photography.
Donna founded Nature
Undisturbed, a juried photography exhibit benefiting local conservation
groups. She was director of Serenbe Photography Center in 2012. She also
founded two photography groups in the southern Atlanta area. In addition to directing Nature Undisturbed, Donna is on the show committee with SlowExposures. Her work has been in
numerous juried and invitational exhibits including TPS 21 & 22, Center Forward at The Center for Fine
Art Photography, Family at the
Detroit Center for Contemporary Photography, Southern Memories curated by John A. Bennette, and SlowExposures for 4 out of the past 5 years where she was awarded
second place in 2012. Donna has two photos in the International Terminal at
Hartsfield Jackson Airport’s Picturing
Georgia exhibit. Her photography has also been exhibited in the Denver
Airport and the Crystal City Metro in the Washington, D.C. area. Donna has
taught photography in the southern Atlanta area since 2006 at various locations
including Clayton State, Serenbe Photography Center, and the National Archives,
Southeast.
