About
G. M. Donley’s creative pursuits have long followed parallel, sometimes intertwining visual and verbal threads of photographic art, writing, editing, and graphic design. He worked at the Cleveland Museum of Art from 1991 to 2021 in a number of capacities relating to design and publications, including designing and editing the museum's magazine for many years. A graduate of Oberlin College, he later earned a master’s degree at Cleveland State University’s Levin College of Urban Affairs. Since the 1980s, he has been active as a freelance writer, designer, and photographer. He has shown photography and photo-based art in exhibitions around the Cleveland area since 1990.
