Janice McDonnell is a Brooklyn-based visual artist whose practice chronicles the passage of time, traces changes in memory and behavior, and examines how people adapt to their surroundings. Working primarily in painting, she draws from everyday observations of urban life, personal objects, and shifting landscapes. Across her varied series, McDonnell explores how we navigate uncertainty, isolation, and change—using overlooked scenes and quiet moments to reflect on loss, resilience, and connection. Her work reveals a deep belief in art’s ability to bear witness, provoke reflection, and offer a form of salvation. She holds a BFA from The Ohio State University and received further training at the Art Students League of New York. McDonnell has been awarded residencies at the Washington Square Park Conservancy, Vermont Studio Center, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
