Self-taught artist Donny Finley grew up in the small rural town of Millerville, Alabama, and began his art practice by sketching from the Sears-Robuck catalog. He became known for painting life in rural Clay County, but has since expanded his repertoire from watercolor to included oils, acrylic and egg tempera, and his subject matter has expanded from the rural South to include scenes from around the world, including New York, Italy and Paris. Finley’s work has won numerous awards, including from the National Academy of Design in New York, the National Watercolor Society in California and the Salmagundi Club in New York. His widely collected work resides in many corporate and public collections, including The Birmingham Museum of Art; Fine Arts Museum of the South in Mobile; Columbus Museum of Arts and Sciences in Columbus, Georgia; Coca Cola Corporate Headquarters in Atlanta; The McKenna Museum of African American Art, New Orleans; The Comer Museum, Sylacauga, AL and more.
