Donna Drew Sawyer advanced the creativity of others as a Madison Avenue advertising executive, public relations manager for Sesame Street and as a senior administrator for several arts organizations including the Chrysler Museum of Art and the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Writing to attract audiences for others led her to start writing for an audience of her own. Born and raised in New York City, she now lives with her family near Washington, DC. PROVENANCE is her first novel.
