Doranne Alden

ARTIST, GRAPHIC DESIGNER Doranne Alden Caruana is a professional graphic designer and artist. As an artist, her preferred painting medium is watercolour based media. In particular she is drawn to using a liquid watercolour (ink) which enhances the boldness and sharp contrasts in her work. However in this exhibition she has chosen to concentrate on both traditional watercolour and watercolour inks. She is inspired by colour rather than by subject matter. Doranne was born in Sliema in 1963, and after completing her education, studied art for a number of years at the School of Art in Msida under the guidance of Joseph L. Mallia (1937- ). She also followed other Design related courses, including Interior Design, but chose to work as a Graphic Designer and Artist. Contemporaneously she frequented a painting group led by Joy Micallef Farndell(1924-), an exceptional watercolourist. In Malta she worked as a graphic designer for over fifteen years with several major advertising agencies and
