Biography
Donald Yena (1933- )
Donald M. Yena
Through his detailed narrative paintings Donald M. Yena breathes life
and meaning into the early days of Texas and the old west. The featured
works illustrate the history of Texas cattle ranching from its Spanish
roots to the discovery of oil in the petroleum sands of South Texas.
Donald M. Yena is a professional western artist. “My
goal has always been to produce good, solid, traditional art,” Yena
says. “Western art is ours. It is uniquely American. It’s rugged,
often haunting and many times humorous.” In Yena’s case precise in
every detail.
Yena often paints from his museum quality collection for
absolute accuracy and detail. He is recognized by many today as “an
historian with brush and palette”, having received many accolades from
the state and county. As an illustrator his works appearing in
historically important books established Yena early on as an important
Texas artist. His works are represented in important private
collections and have been honored with major exhibits in prestigious
banks and museums including the Witte in San Antonio.
