Wilmington Art Loop - May, 2026
Devronika DeNay - DVG All Mixed Up
Friday, May 1, 5-8pm, Art Loop Reception
Work is on display until May 31, 2026
This series reflects the different stages of my personal growth and how I view myself throughout that process. Forever expanding, Imperfect, and always evolving. I want to represent all aspects of myself. My creativity, my quirkiness, the lighter sides and the more somber ones. I wanted to express and portray myself the way I see myself now.
Transformative.
I gave myself the space to sit in the process and let my art, my emotions, and my feelings exist as they are. Hands on, messy, unforgiving, but beyond rewarding.
I stepped outside of my digital world because it began to feel like a box, one I no longer enjoyed or wanted to remain in. And I've come to realize that nothing I do has to be linear, especially not my art. I allowed myself to simply create and truly feel. Letting go of the need for perfection or the habit of overanalyzing my work.
This process was therapeutic, fun, and necessary for me. Mixed media is where I began, and it’s where my heart feels most at home now.
This is Dva, all mixed up.

Wilmington Art Loop - June, 2026
Kathleen Donahey “Ireland and Other Places”
Friday, June 5, 5-8pm, Art Loop Reception
Work is on display until June 28, 2026
Artist Statement:
I like it when I visit small towns and waterways. The colors and atmosphere entice me. We live in such a unique area and can travel to beautiful places in a few hours. However, I had the pleasure of going even further as I visited Ireland and Europe in the last few years. These trips opened my eyes to new painting possibilities.
I find beauty in simple things, mostly nature inspired. I also like architecture and have painted several restaurants in the Wilmington area. My work is made with oils, wax, and acrylic paint. I also use paper and collage at times.
Artist Bio:
Kathleen Donahey has both a Bachelors and Master degree in Art Education. She has continued building her skills through taking many art courses after graduation and taught in Delaware Public Schools for 24 years until her retirement. She has also taught drawing at the University of DE Lifelong Learning program. She loves nature and architecture and often uses them as inspirations for her paintings both in acrylic and oil. Her work has been shown in county fairs and at Art on the Green in Historic New Castle, DE.
On view during regular shop hours.
