About The Artwork

The “Uprooted Series” was created during the 2020-2022 pandemic, which altered the way we interacted with each other and our view the world. Despite the disruptions Covid caused, it helped me to become acutely aware of the interconnectedness of all living things, our human need for each other, and the magnitude of what we can learn from nature. Through an examination of complex tree roots pulled from the ground, I could express my own situation of feeling vulnerable. Yet on a positive note, I could see the renewal of the growth cycle as mosses and fungi became evident on the exposed roots creating new life. My artwork is grounded in my personal experiences in nature, whether it be walking trails close to home or paddling waters of the Canadian Shield. My intention is to share my deep respect and awe for the wonders of nature and to invite viewers to contemplate its meaning. The application of paint using a palette knife suggests nature’s complexity and the layering of events over time. Professional artist-grade quality oil paint is used, and the painting is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. It is signed by myself, Juliana McDonald, on the back, giving details of title, size, materials, and place of creation (Ottawa, Canada). The edges are cleanly finished in white acrylic paint so that the work does not need to be framed, yet can be if so desired.

Canadian Landscape Artist. Oil painting and large-scale paper works. Born in London, ON, Canada. Raised and currently living in Ottawa, Canada. Member of Enriched Bread Artists Studios in Ottawa, ON, Canada since 2000. My paintings are held in the City of Ottawa Public Art Collection, as well as many private, corporate, and public collections. They include the Canadian Medical Protective Association, Ottawa, Canada, Dr. Stephen M. Earle Dentistry, Ottawa, Canada, and Insight Talent Advisors Inc., Ottawa, Canada. My oil paintings on canvas are driven by ecological issues involving loss of habitat of pollinating insects, especially the Monarch butterfly. My nature-based themes include illusive qualities of water, sky, and land. They focus on the importance of protecting nature and, hence, our own existence on the planet. My paintings usually begin with a detail from my photos or sketches while walking in green spaces close to home or canoeing in the Canadian Shield. I use mainly palette knife to apply layers of oil paint to the stretched canvas. This technique creates active, lively surfaces that suggest shifting light and complex detail. My intention is to awaken a deep appreciation and awe for the wonders of nature.
