About the Artist
Kristen Donnelly started drawing and painting as a child and continued through high school. She returned to her passion of art upon wandering into the Sirril Art Gallery in Salado, Texas while on a work trip. For several years her work was represented there. Now, her work can be found closer to her home at Art on Main at The 3rd Space in Monterey, Virginia.
She currently resides in Highland County, Virginia and raises backyard poultry and is in the process of starting a small farm raising Tarentaise cattle.
Artist Statement
As a painter I strive to create an emotion with my art. Reflections of moments in time; things I love such as animals, nature, rural life; and my travels are my primary sources of inspiration. Pieces that make the viewer wonder how the story ends bring me the greatest satisfaction in my art.
