Rita MacDonald is a visual artist exploring
two related bodies of work. In one, she works
with images of decorative patterns found in
architecture to make large-scale wall drawings
that are temporary and site-specific. In the other,
she uses images of decorative patterns found
in clothing to make small-scale, often highly
detailed, graphite drawings on paper.
She has exhibited at Wave Hill and Lehman
College in the Bronx, Smack Mellon and Storefront
Ten Eyck in Brooklyn, The Soap Factory in
Minneapolis, MN and The John Michael Kohler
Arts Center in Sheboygan, WI. MacDonald
has completed several public art commissions
including two permanent mosaics in subway
stations. Through The Women’s Studio Workshop
in Rosendale, NY she received a grant to publish
an artist book which is now included in several
large collections, including the libraries of both the
Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN. and Yale
University in New Haven, CT.
