I had Donna Howell-Sickles on today, and I think she's probably one of the more recognizable Western multimedia artists. So today's podcast was fun for me on many levels. First off, Donna is iconic and paints iconic imagery and second, she was a leader in the field early on. On top of that, I just love her story. I mean, she grew up on a ranch that was hit with a terrible drought, but they managed to hang on to it. After all of that, her parents became teachers.
For Donna, it was really a struggle to get where she wanted to be as an artist. You know, she had to go against the grain and in so many ways. Not only from facing her family who felt that she would need a job that can pay the bills and that art wasn't going to cut it, but simply existing as a standout woman artist in a very male dominated space.
Anyways, she's a lovely individual. I guess I just really enjoyed this podcast. Donna Howell-Sickles on episode 297 of Art Dealer Diaries Podcast.
