DONNA POINGDESTRE

SITE 03

I am a contemporary artist whose practice is rooted in paint, and has expanded to include audio, film, publishing, and performance. My work explores liminal and transitory spaces—those in-between moments and environments that mark shifts in physical, emotional, or psychological states. I’m particularly drawn to the transformational aspects of space, memory, and the often-unseen labour of domesticity and creative practice. These concerns thread through my multidisciplinary approach, where process and materiality are central to how meaning is shaped and experienced. I divide my time between Portsmouth and London, UK, and am a founding member of @bothgalleryldn, a not-for-profit, artist-led gallery platforming emerging and underrepresented artists. I hold a BA (Hons) in Media and Design from the University of Portsmouth, a recent MFA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, and am currently undertaking a Professional Doctorate in Fine Art at UEL (University of East London).
