Grant MacDonald was born in Montreal and grew up in Galt, Ontario. He showed early interest in art, and soon caught the attention of renowned painter Carl Ahrens, who began to train MacDonald. In his teens, MacDonald moved to Toronto, where he worked as a commercial artist for a city newspaper whilst attending evening classes at the Ontario College of Art (now OCAD). In the 1930s, MacDonald worked abroad, producing celebrity and theatrical sketches in London and New York City. MacDonald turned to war art during WWII, and also produced a number of sketches of Canadian National Railway employees. MacDonald also designed model theatres as a hobby. Noted novelist Robertson Davies asked MacDonald to design the set for his first full-length play “Fortune my Foe”. MacDonald exhibited frequently, doing one-man shows across Canada including the New Design Gallery in Vancouver, regular shows at the Roberts Gallery in Toronto, and the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston, Ontario. His work is held within the collections of the Art Gallery of Ontario, Queen’s University in Kingston, Hart House of the University of Toronto, and elsewhere.
