About Donna Wilson
I was one of those fortunate few who was born to a family who truly respected artists. My brothers are poets and musicians, artists in every way, and I have an aptitude for drawing. The environment in which we were raised was rich with imagery and stories.
Our folks were artists. Our mom, Helen Wilson, was a beautiful painter, with countless numbers of her creations gracing the homes of friends and collectors. Our Dad, Stan Wilson, played the harmonica and guitar and wrote eloquently for the local papers. His words traveled internationally as he used his creative skills to focus on building a stronger industry for beef producers. My earliest memories have everything to do with the beauty and art around me, created by the passionate people who lived and shared their world, their work and their art.
Sculpting for me is drawing all 4 sides of my subject. I love to express my experiences and share my world of ranching and wildlife with you.
