Item Description

Mike Macdonald "Scotland Crofters Farm" Signed Original Painting

This beautiful creation by Mike Macdonald so beautifully depicts a farm in Scotland with a beautiful white painted home. Circa 2011. Signed lower right hand corner.

Born in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Mike MacDonald was a self-taught artist, videographer and gardener of Mi’kmaw, Beothuk, Scottish, Irish and Portuguese descent. Mike drove across Canada every year working as a video installation artist and gardener in addition to pursuing photography and new media projects. Self-taught, he focused on the environment, incorporating plants and animals in his artworks. He found inspiration in both his Indigenous ancestry and Western sources, drawing from science as well as traditional medicine and ethnobotany.

His works have been featured in exhibitions worldwide, at such venues as the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Heard Museum (Phoenix, Arizona), and the Canadian Cultural Centre (Paris, France). In 1994, he was awarded the prestigious Jack and Doris Shadbolt Prize from the Vancouver Institute for Visual Arts, and in 2000 he received the New Media Award presented at the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival.

MacDonald’s most renowned projects include the butterfly gardens he planted across Canada beginning in the early 1990s. They are tactile living examples of his devotion to and admiration of the natural environment. Inspiration to create the gardens can be seen in his video installation works, most notably in Touched by the Tears of a Butterfly (1994). This installation features silent videotape in a loop projected in front of a set of rocking chairs. The video follows the life of a butterfly, from its existence as a caterpillar until it bursts from its cocoon as a colorful winged insect.

MacDonald has also been recognized for presenting some of the most touching installations on Indigenous heritage and community. For example, Electronic Totem (1987) showcased a stack of five video monitors, one on top of the other, depicting the contemporary life of a First Nations community in British Columbia.

Mike's careful, positive storytelling, as well as his tender regard for nature and the quiet goings-on of the butterfly, built him a reputation as one of the more significant contemporary artists in Canada.

In very good ready to hang condition with a wire on the back to hang.
