Donna Howells was born in 1945. The sudden unexpected
death from a staph infection of her first born son left
Donna in a struggle with depression which basically stopped
her art work for years. She and her husband raised two
children and now are enjoying life in North Carolina. Donna
first heard the Gospel in the South and credits Jesus Christ
from freeing her from depression. Beginning her art again in
a brand new way at age 59, Donna wants her art to glorify
her Savior. Although raised in upstate New York, she
considers herself a southerner after nearly 30 years in the
South and loves older black gospel groups such as the Dixie
Hummingbirds. She looks forward to and often paints the
Rapture of the Church when believers are caught up in the
air to meet Jesus. Her work has been published in American
Artist Magazine and she has been included in numerous juried
shows including the Cooperstown Museum. Donna's work is in
the permanent collection of the Hurn Museum of Contemporary
Folk Art.
