Steve Donegan
Arts/Industry: Pottery, 1986
Steve Donegan was born in New York. He studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York before moving to Philadelphia in 1976 to study painting at Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University.
When he graduated Tyler, Donegan went to see the looms at Philadelphia College of Textiles (now Jefferson University) and developed an interest in weaving. His process entails using multiple layers of images from photography, drawing, and painting that are redrawn and converted into a digital file that interfaces with a computerized jacquard loom.
Donegan has exhibited his work from New York to New Mexico, including at the American Fine Craft Show at the Brooklyn Museum and Helen Drutt Gallery in Philadelphia. His work also takes inspiration from his garden.
