About
donnalynn chase
I am the founder of Soul Expression and Chase Art Studio. Also known as dl, I am a self-taught artist who comes from a long-line of self-taught artists and craftsmen. After decades in an aerospace-corporate life, I graduated to coaching and facilitating workshops on soul expression. Since 2006, I have worked (or rather played) from my home art studio located in San Jose, California. Currently, collage is my preferred form of art-making and is a direct consequence of my obsession with books and paper. On most days, you can find me with Tesha, a Jack Russell Terrier, in my art studio either making art or supporting others in their creative process. Pilgrims' Journey is my first Lulu published book. Previously, I have self-published many chapbooks of my haiku and other writer's poetry and edited several poetry anthologies. Creating books aligns naturally for me, since I love all things paper.
