About the Artist
Gary McDonald is a British Columbia artist who paints in watercolors and acrylics with the occasional foray into oils. His subject matter varies from landscapes and seascapes to florals and portraits.
Gary’s work is eclectic and he prefers to explore each subject as a function of its intrinsic characteristics rather than imposing a more definitive style. The competing influences between his background in commercial art and his desire to paint more expressively can be seen in his paintings which often display hints of both.
As an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA), Gary is involved in the arts community and has attended and organized workshops under the auspices of the Federation.
Paintings by Gary McDonald have been displayed at the Federation Gallery on Granville Island in Vancouver, the Tutt Gallery in Kelowna and in several FCA juried shows in Victoria as well as shows in the South Surrey/White Rock and Fraser Valley areas
