Donna Howell-Sickles was born in 1949 in Gainesville, Texas and raised on a 900 acre farm. In 1972, while earning her BFA at Texas Tech in Lubbock, she acquired an old postcard c. 1935 depicting a cowgirl seated on a horse which read, “Greetings from a Real Cowgirl from the Ole Southwest.” Attracted by the charm and confidence of the woman in the image, she began incorporating the cowgirl figure into her work, as well as collecting and researching these old-time cowgirl images.
Before long, this icon was the central theme in the contemporary settings of Donna’s pieces.Donna Howell-Sickles' works are largely mixed-media. She works on paper and canvas in a mix of charcoal, pastel and acrylic most often leaving her under-drawing visible.
In Donna Howell-Sickles pieces, the cowgirl achieves the status of a heroine, and her images have brought her national attention 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 in order to appreciate the female affirmations of each piece.
Donna Howell-Sickles has been inducted into the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in recognition of her work with imagery celebrating the cowgirl.
Donna Howell-Sickles exhibits across the country including the Buffalo Bill Cody Art Show, National Museum of Wildlife Art,The West Select Show, Small Works Great Wonders, Cowgirl Up, Museum of the Southwest, Altamira Fine Art, and more.
