Donna grew up in Ballarat, Victoria and has lived most of her life there. Donna has been weaving for six years after being taught by master weaver and Gundijtamara woman, Bronwyn Razem.

Donna is a Journey Woman - which means she is still learning the weaving and the stories.

The technique Donna uses is a satin stitch basket weave that she uses to make both traditional pieces such as eel traps and baskets as well as exploring some of her own designs such as weaving totems like the platypus and other animals.
