ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Red Boat is a colorful narrative painting by artist Donna Mossholder. It combines landscape and dream-like imagery. She notes, “I wanted to express the attitude of stillness and tranquility surrounded by a chaotic force of energy, a secret and interior space like the calm in the eye of the hurricane or the subconscious in the center of conscious activity and turmoil.”
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Rochester School District.
