Mary McDonald

About

Mary is a Scottish contemporary artist with a confident free and expressive handling of paint. With an ability to celebrate life, colour and energy from observing the landscape or domestic still life. Painting primarily in oil, but also occasionally mixed media, she comfortably balances subject and abstraction.

Studied at Duncan of Jordanstone. She worked in interior design for a number of years before returning to painting.

Her paintings often have a serenity to them but with expressive undertones.  She enjoys a strong perspective and play with structure using light and reflections on water.

Based on the peninsula Ardmore Point in the west of Scotland and with a second off grid lochside studio her appreciation of skies and the rhythm of water to shoreline is a familiar, much loved, subject.
