Megan Ellen MacDonald, a true millennial, blends pre-modernist oil painting traditions with the world of contemporary culture and kitsch. Known for her paintings of cats, clouds and ceramic figurines, MacDonald pauses for us, the onslaught of media images and faux nostalgia. While exploring themes of childhood, femininity and fantasy, MacDonald’s work also connects to conversations related to realism, romanticism, and neoclassical painting. MacDonald received her BFA from OCADU in 2013 and has exhibited in Toronto and Montreal.
