About The Artist

Originally from New York, Mick Donelan has lived in North Carolina for over 30 years, first in the Chapel Hill area, and ultimately in the western North Carolina mountains. She currently resides in Asheville, but also spends time in the area around Boone, West Jefferson, and Blowing Rock. Ms. Donelan began painting with pastels in the 1980’s, under the guidance of A. Hunter Taylor, an award-winning pastel artist from Hillsborough, North Carolina. After experimenting with acrylics for a time, Mick settled on watercolors as the medium that allowed her to explore her use of color and imagination to the fullest extent.
