Atlanta resident Justina Helkov spends her time caring for her family, supporting charities, and pursuing various interests. An art enthusiast, Justina Helkov enjoys collecting pieces created by local artists, including Donna Thomas. 

A Georgia native, Donna Thomas has been involved in the local art scene for more than three decades. As a young artist, Thomas studied painting at the University of Georgia’s School of Fine Arts before shifting to a career in physical therapy. She eventually returned to painting and worked to improve her skills under the tutelage of well-known regional and national artists. 

Over the years, Thomas, whose body of work covers many mediums and techniques, has owned art galleries, written a book on art, and worked as an art instructor. In 2005, she founded The Art School in Sandy Springs, which continues to offer workshops for those throughout the Southeast.
