Rita A Donagh (born 30 April 1939) is a British artist, known for her realistic paintings and painstaking draughtsmanship.
Donagh was born in Wednesbury to an English mother and an Irish father and grew up in Darlaston (then Staffordshire, now West Midlands).
Rita Donagh's work on the H Block prisons in Northern Ireland was shown with her husband Richard Hamilton, at the Institute of Contemporary Art in 1984.
She continued her interest in politics with works such as Downing Street Declaration (1993) which included a Hamilton-esque, televised image of Prime Minister John Major.
In 1994 she had a solo exhibition at Cornerhouse, Manchester and the preview on 13 October coincided with the Loyalist's in Northern Ireland calling a ceasefire.
