Artist Bio

Charmaine Macdonald’s work takes inspiration from her local suburban area as well as from inner city Melbourne. Her subject matter includes both nature and the built environment and frequently centres on the integration of the two. She works primarily in the medium of printmaking and focuses on matching the appropriate printmaking technique to the feel of each piece, producing high impact graphic images with strong line and colour. Charmaine is currently focused on the themes of obsolescence, ownership and the attribution of value. Her work has sold to collectors within Australia and overseas. She lives in the eastern suburbs with her husband, her son, two cats and four fish.
