About the artist
kim mcdonough
Kim McDonough is a Mi’kmaw artist from Toronto, Canada, who belongs to Membertou First Nation in Unama’ki (Cape Breton Island). Having trained and worked as a digital artist, her brightly coloured paintings resonate with harmony and connection, filled with Indigenous imagery, symbolism, spirit animals, and florals designs.
“Painting helps keep me connected to my culture in many ways. Through painting I am always learning more about my community, our history, our stories. A painting is part of that connection that I can share with everyone.”
