‘We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.’ Those are the words by which Donna Molby — President, Chief Executive Officer, Senior Wealth Advisor and owner of OmniVita Custom Wealth Management — lives. “I used to have one of those big posters on a wall in my office and it's kind of been my personal motto,” says Donna. “It’s my ingrained mindset.”
Putting the ‘A’ in STEAM
Last year, that mindset led to OmniVita coming on board as a presenting partner for Spectacle, National Geographic’s stunning photography exhibition at Science World. It was a serendipitous partnership, enabling Science World to lean into the ‘A’ of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art & design, and math).
The exhibition, inspired by the book SPECTACLE: Rare and Astonishing Photographs, featured striking images shot by some of the world’s finest photographers of sights as remarkable as they are unforgettable.
“I think that public art is something that should be supported,” says Donna. “It's harder for organizations to raise money for art type things. It's not given as much importance in our society as some of the other things and, therefore, I feel it needs a little bit more from people who have an interest in art.”
While Donna herself is not an artist, she is good friends with many of them. “I am an art collector,” says Donna, who is also on the Board of Capture Photography Festival. “I collect photography, as well as sculpture and other forms of visual art.”
