Donna Vorreyer

Donna Vorreyer creates and writes in the Chicago area where she hosts the online reading series A Hundred Pitchers of Honey and is co-founder/editor of Asterales: A Journal of Arts & LettersShe is the author of Unrivered (forthcoming, 2025), To Everything There Is (2020), Every Love Story is an Apocalypse Story (2016) and A House of Many Windows (2013), all from Sundress Publications. Her mixed media  art has been featured in North American Review, Waxwing, Thimble Literary Magazine, Pithead Chapel, The Boiler, and other journals.

In my mixed media pieces, I like to place statues in unusual or surreal environments to represent abstractions or ideas. “Outer Vision,” using a photo of a Bernini bust from the 17th century and images of Earth from space, seeks to show the past and the future coming together.

Materials: Photocopy, found images, oil pastel on old scrapbook cover.
