Gillian McDonald is an acclaimed watercolour artist who specialises in painting the remoter parts of the British Isles. From the Highlands and Islands of Scotland to the English moors and the rugged coastline of Wales, Gillian is to be found seeking out the dramatic landscapes and seascapes which are the subject of her distinctive paintings.
After studying at a London art college, Gillian developed her love for watercolour in Indonesia where she lived for several years before settling in Wales. Since then she has concentrated and built upon this demanding medium and has published over 200 prints in limited edition, many of which have sold out.
Gillian’s brooding landscapes are rich in atmosphere, evoking a sense of isolation and solitude, and each image is brought alive by her appreciation of the interplay between light and the natural environment. Her innate understanding of the subtleties of different light effects and her bold use of colour are the hallmarks that make for the harmony of her highly collectable paintings and prints.
