Pictou County artist displays creativity at South Shore gallery | SaltWire

Nancy MacDonald's artwork has a brilliance and beauty all its own. - ContributedTRENTON – Art has taken Trenton native Nancy MacDonald from the darkroom to the realm of photons and pixels to a South Shore gallery.

Her BFA, combined with experience from the Center for Electronic Arts in San Francisco, eventually led to the computer game industry where she worked for more than 20 years, mostly at Artech Studios in Ottawa, helping create over 50 games for companies such as Hasbro, Disney, and Atari. A: For the past 13 years, I've been working as a freelance graphic designer for clients such as The Moorings Gallery, MacIntyre Purcell Publishing, and the Lunenburg Doc Fest. Recently I began working with the Laurie Swim Gallery in Lunenburg as their marketing and communications coordinator. Over the past few years, I had to take some time off work to deal with a chronic pain condition.

A: I had been working as a professional designer for years and feel blessed that most of my jobs have been in a creative field, but I never seemed to have time to make art for myself that I would actually show to the public. During the pandemic, I decided I wanted to start creating a body of work that I could show. I've been making small drawings of the birds that hang out around my windows and some small landscapes.
