Patrick Donley is a sculptor, musician, and co-director of the Zephyr Gallery in Louisville, Kentucky. Patrick has made his reputation with colorful, abstract paintings. He has a BA from Davidson College in painting, and an MFA from Northwestern University in painting and drawing.

After taking a break from art to record with the band Jakeleg several years ago, Donley did an artistic about-face, and began producing wall mounted, found-object sculptures. His most recent work, "The Memento Series" melds Donley?s two and three-dimensional techniques while adding narrative components to the mix. The work deals with memory and intimacy. Donley says the series reflect a crossroads where his two paths meet and influence one another.

?I am essentially a mixed media artist,? he explains. ?Trained as a painter, started using collage with the paint, then shifted into three-dimensions using found materials.?
