Donnelly was born in Belfast; he studied at Belfast School of Art & Design and at the British School at Rome. His first solo exhibition was held at Art & Research Exchange, Belfast in 1981. In common with most of his generation in the Province of Northern Ireland, his life has been dominated by the distinction between the relative tranquillity of his childhood and the ‘Troubles’ of the 1980s.
