Kelly D. Donovan

Award winning artist, Kelly D. Donovan has had an interest in art from an early age. Growing up in western Colorado gave Donovan a strong foundation for the work he enjoys. From the time he could pick up a pencil as a young boy, Donovan has immersed himself in cowboy art. He began showing his work in galleries at age 15.

Donovan says, "My fascination with the old west has kindled my desire to keep that brief moment in history alive through my artwork." His extensive research into the old west ensures the authenticity that he strives for in his work.

He was featured in Southwestern Art Magazine as an emerging artist and as an "Artist to Watch". He was also featured in Western Horseman Magazine. His work has appeared in American Cowboy Magazine and Cowboy and Indian Magazine as well.

Donovan was showcased by Coca-Cola as an exclusive artist to participate in a fundraising event held at Country in the Rockies (Crested Butte, Co) to benefit cancer research at the Ingram Vanderbilt Cancer Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

Donovan's work can be found in private and corporate collections nationwide and overseas. His collectors include country music personalities such as Gary Chapman, Paul Overstreet, Gary Morris, Mel Tillis, Robert Earl Keen and Charlie Daniels. His artwork also appeared in the awardwinning movie Sideways.

He participates in exhibitions and events all across the country. Donovan is represented by Judith Hale Gallery in Los Olivos, California, and by Mountain Trails Gallery in Cody, Wyoming. He resides in Corinne, Utah, with his wife, LaNan, and five children, Kim, Karlie, Shane, Kade, & Wyatt.
