Donna Howell-Sickles

Donna Howell-Sickles, a Texas based artist, has taken the image and idea of the cowgirl beyond charcoal lines and into reality. In the Western art genre, she has been exploring the layers beneath the Cowgirl’s engaging exterior for more than 40 years.  Howell-Sickles herself identifies with the self-reliant and hard-working spirit of the cowgirl. In 2007 she was inducted into the Cowgirl Hall of Fame by the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas. Howell-Sickles’ work is a part of the art collections of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, the Booth Western Art Museum, the Tucson Museum of Fine Art, Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West, the C.M. Russell Museum, the National Museum of Wildlife Art and the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.  Her work has been in many exhibitions and featured in several publications.  Currently, Donna’s work is represented in Ann Korologos Gallery, Basalt, Colorado, McLarry Fine Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Artspace 111, Ft. Worth and at home in Davis & Blevins Gallery, Saint Jo, Texas.
