Caitlin McDonagh

Caitlin McDonagh is a Canadian visual artist, illustrator and muralist who creates complex works deeply inspired by folklore, symbolism and nature. Inspired by the line where human life and the natural world blur, her work often results in a harmonious narrative where beings show both the humanistic and animal sides of themselves, in landscapes inspired by the places she has visited, lived and imagined. Her aim with her work is to construct her own personal folklore; work that leaves doors open within, allowing the viewer to extend the story while finding parts of themselves within it. Caitlin’s murals can be found in Victoria BC, Vancouver BC, Montreal and various regions of Quebec, Brooklyn NYC and Charlotte NC. Her paintings are part of the City of Burnaby’s permanent art collection at the Burnaby Art Gallery, as well as numerous private collections around the world.
