Collection Information

Gillian McDonald is a sought-after watercolour artist who specialises in painting the remoter parts of the British Isles. From the Highlands and Islands of Scotland to the Black Mountains of South Wales and especially the Pembrokeshire coastline Gillian is to be found, often on horseback, seeking out the abandoned farms and dramatic landscapes which are the subject of her paintings. When not out combing the hills and cliffs for new landscapes, Gillian is to be found in woodland and gardens working on floral compositions, which she weaves into her landscapes. Gillian’s unusual and daring use of colour is her hallmark; her innate feel for the tradition of the countryside and its ancient buildings, the vibrancy of her flowers, and the drama of her skies are the mixture that make for the harmony of her highly collectable originals and signed Limited Edition Prints. 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 in 1983. Since then she has concentrated exclusively on this medium and has published over 100 prints in limited editions, many of which are sold out. Her original work is collected mainly in Britain but also in Europe and North America. Gillian in January 2004 was voted the most popular female UK artist in a survey by The Fine Art Trade Guild and second most popular artist overall. This is an astounding achievement for a self publishing artist and Gillian is indebted to her many collectors who have been so loyal and supportive in following her development as an artist.
