Cat McDonald

Cat is happy to be taking part in the 3rd year of the Accord Exhibition, which gives artists a chance to exhibit while financially helping a worthwhile cause.

Born in Johnstone and grew up in Paisley, has always showed a passion for art, but life got in the way. After dabbling in graphic design, moving abroad and doing a Diploma in visual merchandising and Beauty Therapy & advanced make-up and part-time Photography job, to name but a few careers, opted to study for B.A. in Contemporary Art in Glasgow and still deciding where life is heading next.

Cat has enjoyed attending and hosting workshops for E.S.L.O. groups and community classes at the Art Department and hope to do more work in the future. Excited to see venues available in Paisley to expose artistic talent from all ages and walks of life!

I have always been interested in art and took it a bit more seriously later on in life studying for my degree. It has enabled me to enter the job market of doing my own workshops at the Art Department and being a freelance artist. Recently, I have been working with a lovely ESOL group and enjoying seeing their talents increase every week Proud to part of The Big Art Show this year and last year, turning an empty building into colourful visuals and vibrancy. Long may it continue as it's just the tonic for Paisley and an asset to Renfrewshire.
