Acclaimed professional artist Gillian MacDonald was born in London and attended West Surrey College of Arts. She lived and painted in the Far East for some years, during which time she was commissioned by the UNHCR to produce a Refugee Series with exhibitions in Singapore and Jakarta.
After returning to the UK, Gillian settled in the Welsh Marches and set up a publishing company with her husband, turning her paintings into prints and selling them worldwide.
Her fascination with Dartmouth began many years ago and she has repeatedly visited to paint. Gillian says: “I was captivated by this very special coastal town. The quality of light, the tightly packed unique period houses, and the bustling river, were and remain an artist’s dream”.
Gillian conveys the features of the landscape using mixed media and collage, producing semi-abstract, yet recognisable, compositions.
Sketching is a key part of Gillian’s process. Her characteristic style involves use of paper, textile and material materials, onto which she paints in bold colour. Finally, hidden secrets are revealed by blotting and scratching out.
