After graduating from California State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Art, Dona's first major success was her blockbuster collection, Heaven's Little Angels. Millions of items were produced and sold featuring her angels on everything from Christmas ornaments to fabric. Demand for Dona's artwork grew, and in 1994, Dona and her husband founded Little Angel Publishing, Inc. Dona's art can be found on tapestries, greeting cards, gift bags and boxes, fabrics, calendars and many other gift items, and her artwork and products have been featured in Parade, Ladies Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, TV Guide and ABC's Dancing with the Stars.
