Ingrid McMillan is a German-Canadian painter whose work is about humanity. Her collections are imaginative meditations on compassion and idealism. Each body of work consists of multiple oil paintings grouped around specific themes.
“I construct narratives using figures and nature to metaphorically describe our interiority. I intuitively play at making the intangible tangible.”
Ingrid’s work is influenced by Jungian psychology, spirituality and the psychological nuances in the work of great painters. Ingrid holds a BFA (honours) and MEd (art) degrees from the University of Manitoba, Canada. She worked as art educator, school counsellor and art consultant in a progressive public school division before painting full-time since 2018. Ingrid has two children and lives in Winnipeg, Canada with her husband Mark. Her work is held in collections across Canada, America and Europe.
