Contemporary Baroque Art
"Donley finds illumination...in the shadowy depths of both the old master past and the human mind."
- American Arts Quarterly
About the Artist
Ray Donley's figurative paintings, which have grown out of his deep interest in Baroque portraiture, have attracted an intense international cult following (with collectors like Johnny Depp and the late director Alan Parker). Since 1981 he has been featured in over 50 solo exhibitions in Europe and in the U.S. His work has also been featured at major art fairs in New York, London, Houston, Miami, Toronto, Boston, and Los Angeles. He and his wife Sharon live in Austin, Texas.
