Bio

Meara McDonald was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA to artist parents - a sculptural jeweler and a cinematographer/fine art photographer. Her love to create began at a young age with the encouragement of her parents and the family point-and-shoot. One of her earliest body of works was a series of double-exposed portraits of her friends and neighbors' heads superimposed on top of her Barbie's bodies. In high school she could often be found shooting her friends’ bands at various venues around Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley, which she continued in Santa Barbara when she left home to study photography and fine art. Two years later she moved back to LA where she received her BFA in Graphic Design from Otis College of Art and Design, with a semester study “inbroad” at MCAD, Minneapolis College of Art & Design. Her love of music has always been the biggest fuel to her creative fire, but her love for travel has taken her as far as Europe, Africa, and across America with her friends’ bands. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her boyfriend and their cat, Maizy.
