Donnell is a Philly-based conceptual artist, educator, and collector originally from Washington, DC. His main source of material used is found objects in which he believes everything in the world has another purpose for existing. He has collaborated as a teaching artist with the Painted Bride Arts Center, Philadelphia Young Playwrights, Caring People Alliance, and ArtWell. He is a proud Temple University alum and his spirit animal is the owl.

As a teaching artist, Donnell hopes to inspire his students to become an Artivist!
