Mickey Donnelly is an artist, writer and teacher who was born in Belfast in 1957. He was on the editorial board of the magazine Circa and involved with the Queen Street Studios in Belfast. His work of the late 1980s, when this picture was painted, was full of enigmatic images and symbols such as Easter Lilies, orange lilies, Donkeys feet, Carsons statue etc.. As the artist said himself in the catalogue On the balcony of the nation :- My work during the last three years has dealt with Irish Cultural signs and symbols, implying or challenging accepted myths. His style of painting has become more abstract in recent times.

Exhibited: The 11th Claremorris Open Exhibition, August - September 1998, Catalogue No.41
