Donna McKellar

Donna McKellar’s oil paintings, often described as romantic realism, capture the interplay of light and space across landscapes, architecture, and seascapes. Her tranquil scenes, imbued with gentle light and isolated buildings, evoke a sense of quiet reflection on solitude. McKellar’s technique involves layering oil paint on fine linen, starting with an underpainting and building up layers for depth. Passionate about literacy, she volunteers for Vintage with Love, a charity in South Africa.​
