About

Liz Donadio is a Baltimore-based photographer, video artist, and educator whose visual practice is centered on the nexus of art, ecology, and architecture. Her photographic prints and immersive installations conjure meditations on the natural and human-made world. Donadio received an MFA from Towson University in 2012. Her work has been exhibited and screened nationally including at the Academy Art Museum in Easton, MD, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Arlington, VA and the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, MD. Her work is in the collections of the Albin O. Kuhn Library at UMBC and the Maryland Center for History and Culture. She was an artist in residence at Adkins Arboretum in Ridgley, MD which culminated in a solo exhibition in 2021.

Collis Donadio is a collaborative project between Donadio and the artist Shannon Collis. Their most recent immersive installation, Resonant Site, at the Pikesville Armory Foundation, transformed an unused Armory building into an immersive exhibition space that had never been used for contemporary art. An earlier installation, Conflux, was at the Voxel Theater in Baltimore in August 2024. Collis and Donadio were Baker Award Finalists in 2025 and 2026 in the Interdisciplinary Media category.

Donadio is an Associate Professor of Photography + Media at Northern Virginia Community College and is Chair of the Visual & Performing Arts Department on the Woodbridge campus. She teaches digital and analog processes, the history of photography, video, and professional practices. Her teaching philosophy emphasizes sharing different perspectives, seeing the world through a lens, and understanding our cultural history through media.

Donadio also owns & operates Color Wheel Digital, a fine-art print studio in Baltimore that works with artists locally and nationally to produce unique bodies of work for exhibitions and portfolios.
