Nancy Donskoj began her love of photography when she bought her first camera in 1972. While living in Massachusetts she took courses in photography at UMass and Hampshire College. When she moved to Manhattan, she continued her studies at the International Center for Photography and the Fashion Institute of Technology, all while working various jobs in the photography industry from PR photography to catalog work to commercial color printing. When she moved to the Hudson Valley in the early 80’s she established her own commercial photography business while also running an art gallery in Kingston NY. She recently retired from her photography business devoting more time to her own work. Attracted to the symmetry in nature and urban decay she continues to explore the world around her with her singular vision to present both the beautiful and the absurd.
