Donna Howell-Sickles was born in 1949 Gainesville, Texas, where she was raised on 900 acre farm.
When she was entering junior high school her parents moved the family to New Mexico where she graduated from lovington High School.
In 1972, she earned her BFA from Texas Tech university in Lubbock, Texas.
During her junior year there, she acquired an old postcard, cira 1935, depicting a cowgirl seated atopa horse.
The vintage postcard read,"Greetings from a Real Cowgirl from the Ole Southwest ."
Donns works on paper and canvas, in a mix of charocal, pastel, and acrylic, most often leaving her under-drawing visible.
In the artwork, the Cowgirl achieves the statue of heroine, and these images have brought her national attention, recognition, accolades, and success.
Her work is rich with symbolism and allusions to classical mythology, but the viewer does not need to be familiar with the references to appreciate the female affirmations and the joy of life apparent in each piece.
Donna was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in 2007 honoring her boy of work about the Cowgirl.
Donnas work in the collections of several museums, and in 2011 she was voted one of the 40 Prominent People in the Western Art World by Southwest Art Magazine.
Painting is being donated for the Children Nocona Playground
