The Holiday Show Opening Reception
Donna Flanery
Like the characters in children’s books, the characters of my work are friendly. The childlike imagery delivers cheerfulness and innocence. These narratives take place in settings of daily life transformed. Donna incorporates sculptural elements reminiscent of pop up book design. Imagery reveals itself from Intuition, play and the subconscious and are like her source materials used for developing the images on her work, hopefully making connections through the rational and irrational mind. By placing these images on utilitarian pottery She is able to introduce these friendly drawings into the viewers everyday life.
Donna lives in Missoula, Montana. Her playful, painted pots have been shown around the country and have taken her to residencies in Germany, China, Minneapolis, and The Archie Bray Foundation. She enjoys spending time with her family, hiking, and baking.
