Neil Donovan

Woodworking

Inspired by his craft and materials…

Neil Donovan currently creates in Columbus, Ohio after arriving from Erie, Pennsylvania in 2022. In the years since Neil earned a Master of Arts in Furniture Design at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, the furniture making has largely given way to wood sculpture.

A host of sculptural outcomes, often including wood turning and the application of color, are achieved through an evolving range of techniques. Works are marked by precise craft driven into the realm of art with exuberant texture, playful color and a conceptual spirit. Neil’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, publications and in many public and private collections.
