Commissions are approached with an eye for the client’s individual requirements, a passion for creating inspired works, an exceptional level of commitment, and a wealth of experience delighting the most exacting clients. Her creative artistry, fresh approach to projects, and incredible ability to transform clients’ wishes into a reality set her firm apart from all others.

Achievements include exhibiting in highly regarded designer showhouses and award-winning public art projects. Donaty has garnered multiple awards within the design industry and for high-profile residential and commercial projects. 

Donaty (b. Columbus, Ohio), Colombian-American, was raised in New Jersey. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing from Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, PA. After twelve years of living in London, England, she relocated to South Florida. She is completing her MFA at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York.

Through an interdisciplinary practice of painting, sculpture, and installation, Donaty uses humor and absurdity to talk about the complexities of social issues and identity. Using maximalist shrine-like playgrounds, she pokes at culture's dark side through material metaphors. Similarly, in prior work, gigantic canvases depict larger-than-life human figures imposed on a playground of tiny fantastical creatures, speaking to the paradoxes of freedom and equality in an out-of-scale, absurd world.
