Donald Ingram Studios




	Donald Ingram is one of the few actual natives of Atlanta, born and raised just south of Buckhead. He worked in a couple of fields before beginning to paint: his early training was in the performing arts, classical voice and acting, and he’s also done a bit of writing. Needing to eat and keep a roof over his head led him to enter the culinary arts, where he spent fifteen years becoming a chef. After realizing that the demands of the restaurant business left him little time to develop other interests, he left culinary to become a massage therapist, a pursuit he continues to practice with great pride and satisfaction. The artwork came about almost as if by accident. He'd grown bored one day with his plain white walls, and went to the local paint store to scout colors. Seeing a display of faux finishing techniques, he casually decided to try his hand. Bearing in mind he’d had exactly no training in doing anything of the sort, and that his previous painting experience had been minimal at best, the results in his kitchen and dining room were rather surprising. The next client arriving for a massage took one look and insisted that he paint her second bedroom. This contract led to another, and that one to a third. Next came an idea for a mural that was so compelling, he had to find a way to bring it to life. After this, the thought of rendering imagery into transparency, to achieve a stained-glass effect without the need to cut and solder, seemed to flow naturally. He soon began working on recovered windows, and the rest is, as they say, history. He has always held a deep appreciation for the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, and clearly takes much inspiration from his style, as well as other past masters of abstraction, but still strives to place his own imprint on the genre. And so, while exploring the vocabulary defined by such great artists, and utilizing their vernacular, it’s hoped that a personal interpretation comes through, that his voice rings out in a specific and individual tone One thing just sort of leads to another... and then some. The results of part of that evolution are what you will see here. We hope you enjoy.
