Andrea Donnellan Photographer Bio

Andrea Donnellan experimented with pinhole cameras around the age of 10 and has never been far from a camera since. Her father helped her set up a darkroom and she experimented with composition, exposure, and processing. Her work is all digital now, but she still remembers the fundamentals she learned from her father and as a 4-H member where her primary focus was on photography. As a senior in high school Andrea Donnellan was sponsored by Eastman Kodak to attend the National 4-H Congress in Chicago. Andrea finds no end of subjects capturing scenery and the wildlife from her backyard to locations near and far. She has traveled globally to all seven continents, but most enjoys capturing local beauty whether it be in southern California, the Eastern Sierra, or Indiana. She enjoys creating conceptual digital art from her photographs

Andrea Donnellan’s work has been displayed in shows in California at the Mono Arts Council Gallery in their Open Spaces (2023) and My Imagination (2024) shows in Mammoth Lakes, Griffith Park (2024), and Descanso Gardens Shape and Form show (2023). She won the Landscape and Plants (2022) and Mammals (2024) categories and Viewer’s Choice Award (2024) in the annual Arroyo & Foothills Conservancy photo competitions.
