About DonnaHowellSickles.com
Fine art and prints by revered cowgirl artist Donna Howell Sickles. Donna Howell-Sickles has developed an instantly recognizable style, somewhere between cartoon (but loving cartoons) and art-deco: smoothed-out curving lines, only meaningful details, bright and simplified color palette. Her subject matter is equally unique and loved: cowgirls and their horses, cattle, and the occasional dog and man. And the emotional palette is equally constrained: mostly happy, sometimes lusty and sometimes pensive.
Like the great sonneteers, Howell Sickles is able to use her self-imposed constraints to generate great creativity and emotional impact.
