董小蕙爲台灣資深女畫家，國立台灣師範大學美術研究所碩士，台北市立教育大學兼任助理教授。創作資歷三十餘年，國內外繪畫發表個展十餘次。早期研究印象派畫風，多次赴歐洲遊歷創作，消化西畫色彩與光影變化之亮麗表現。念研究所時致力於中國老莊哲學之探研，寫成《莊子思想之美學意義》（台北學生書局，一九九三）專書。九〇年代後期畫風轉變，融入中國哲思之人文美感意境，發展了獨具個人風格的「黑桌靜物」、「老院子」、「黑白系列」、「濃蔭系列」和「大樹家族」等各系列之表現；其由西而中的創作發展過程，建立了完整的藝術風格系統，也自外於當代藝術創作理念之潮流。

董小蕙說：「靜物畫一直是我喜愛的主題，雖然它常被視為一種尋常而無創意的畫類。我由靜觀而提筆描繪，由描繪而有了作品；所以，靜物畫可以說是我靜觀的副產物。」董小蕙的靜物畫特別具有一種靜謐清遠的氣質，使觀者亦產生了心境上的沉靜與安適；有著女性抒情細緻的典雅，卻也有著頗見強度的造型力量，是女性畫家少見的表現。《春曦-粉茶》一作畫出了茶花清麗典雅的特色，花葉枝幹生動而有意趣，晨曦光影的變化亦十分動人。此作畫面表現是西方的油畫，但卻是中國文化的美感內涵；描繪的是「當下」，卻是在畫「永恆」：明明是細麗雅緻的美感，畫面上卻出現一種樸實厚重的拙趣。以上各項恰為相反的審美特質，卻協調地出現在畫家的筆下。
