UNADILLA, NY, August 19, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Mark J. Donnell has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Donnell has established a distinctive presence as an artist and entrepreneur, most notably as the owner of The Little Pink House in New York, where he has been self-employed since founding the venture. In this capacity, he has transformed his passion for art into a thriving business, offering unique souvenirs and original works that have garnered local acclaim. The Little Pink House serves as both a gallery and retail space, featuring his signature "rock'n" gifts, which are freestanding, balanced rock sculptures adorned with vibrant colors and designs. These pieces, which Mr. Donnell refers to as good luck signs, are displayed throughout the shop and have become a hallmark of his creative output.

Mr. Donnell's journey in art began on a dairy farm, where he crafted bellows, hex signs and Amish signs. This early exposure to folk art traditions laid the foundation for his later explorations in sculpture and painting. His hobby of stacking rocks evolved into a form of public art. Many of his freestanding rock designs have remained undisturbed along roadsides for years, attracting attention from passersby who often photograph them. Inspired by this response, Mr. Donnell expanded his creative repertoire to include photography, capturing images of his rock sculptures and incorporating them into calendars, tote bags, magnets and mugs.

In addition to his sculptural work, Mr. Donnell is an accomplished oil painter. He has produced several themed series, including 20 waterfall series paintings, 20 space series paintings, 20 fisherman paintings, and 20 landscape paintings in various sizes. These works are displayed alongside his rock sculptures at The Little Pink House, where he also serves as a curator.

Before establishing The Little Pink House, Mr. Donnell built a reputation in remodeling and residential design-build projects over the course of 30 years. His expertise encompasses carpentry, electrical work and plumbing, allowing him to manage all aspects of home renovation. Throughout his career in this field, he has also renovated several houses, which he subsequently used and rented out. This hands-on experience honed Mr. Donnell's technical skills and informed his artistic sensibilities, particularly in the creation of functional yet aesthetically pleasing spaces.

Mr. Donnell is affiliated with the Better Business Bureau and the International Association of Better Business Bureaus Inc., reflecting his commitment to ethical business practices within the art and retail sectors. Throughout his career, he has credited much of his success to the unwavering support and inspiration provided by his wife. Her encouragement has played a pivotal role in fostering Mr. Donnell's creativity and enabling him to pursue innovative ideas that distinguish his work in the art world.

Among Mr. Donnell's proudest achievements is the creation of The Little Pink House itself. This space not only houses his artwork but also serves as a community hub where visitors can experience the positive impact of his creations firsthand. Looking ahead, Mr. Donnell is enthusiastic about the growing popularity of his oil paintings. He anticipates that upcoming releases will further enhance his reputation as an artist known for producing unusual and captivating works.
