Donald Saaf A Creative Mind

Donald Saaf is a painter, sculptor, musician and children’s book illustrator. He lives in the small village of Saxtons River in southern Vermont.

I like his narrative paintings, and his quirky use of scale and perspective.

Can you spot the ghostly figure heads in some of the backgrounds.

He works in a lovely converted barn right near to his home, which he shares with his partner and fellow artist Julia Zanes.

Together they created a multimedia marionette show called ‘The Green Gold Tree’. Donald creates the music for the Bluebird Theater productions and
Julia Zanes is the talented director who also makes all these wonderful puppets.

Donald also creates whimsical sculptural pieces. I love the head in the wall and the angel and hand below.

A truly talented artist.
