Artist: Donna Mikkelsen

ABOUT

Donna Mikkelsen is an ambidextrous artist born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. From a very early age she trained herself to be ambidextrous. For over 30 years she has been developing her artistic practice that incorporates movement, symmetry, sound and mark making.

Donna teaches Ambi Arts workshops in corporate, school and community based settings. Workshops incorporate the principles of her ambidextrous drawing technique “Spontaneous Symmetry” - a process that engages both hemispheres of the brain, utilizes kinesthetic learning, increases sensory awareness, builds teamwork and is fun!
