(Moira
Macdonald)
Sad news comes from the North Coast Art
Group of the death of Moira Macdonald who passed away in Umhlanga Hospital on March
10 after a period of ill-health.
The following tribute comes from NCAG
artist, Maureen de Moor:
“We remember Moira as a wonderful
Watercolour Artist, who dedicated her life to this medium and was always so
highly thought of as her work was of a high standard. Moira taught for many
years, and she was also a keen Ceramic artist, and produced many a fine piece.
She was a staunch member of the North Coast
Art Group for many many years, she was a solid member, producing works on silk,
and watercolour paper. She was always keen to experiment and often her works
were recognized during our annual MOAG Exhibition, and she sold some of her
works on Exhibitions over the years. Moira was a quiet and gentle person,
always showing a positive attitude and a keen companionship of others within
the group. She was married to John, a very happy marriage and they both
worked closely over their lifetime together and shared much joy.”
Emma Robb, another NCAG artist, pays her
tribute: “Moira was a very creative person and was always involved in many
facets of the arts. Besides her beautiful pottery creations, Silk screening of
textiles and Pastel work she could turn her hand to anything as she even made
all John’s shirts! She loved painting in Watercolours, and always won an NCAG
award or two for her quality art. During her 25 odd years of valued NCAG
membership she served as Treasurer for many years. We will miss her smiling
face and will never forget her valued input and advice which she freely gave
everyone. Moira is a great loss as a friend and colleague. “
