Donald McGraw is a Canadian painter. Born in Pokemouche, New Brunswick, in 1950, he founded his own gallery there in the early 1990s.
Donald McGraw was born on August 31, 1950, in Pokemouche, New Brunswick. He is interested in painting and drawing since his childhood and painted at the age of 15 years. He studied at the Halifax, Nova Scotia, College of Arts and Crafts.

Donald McGraw made seven different collections before 20111. His work is mainly inspired by history. It is part of realism.
His first collection, From Bell Tower to Belly, contains over fifty paintings depicting various churches in the Diocese of Bathurst; thirty are on display at the Musée des Papes in Grande-Anse.

His collection Une instant ... a life composed of eleven paintings pays tribute to Acadian Peninsula workers and unknown trades. It was purchased in 1998 and has been on permanent display since then at the Shippagan campus of the Université de Moncton.

Nature also inspires him and his collection In the Name of Nature has more than 200 paintings that are now found in several countries in North America and Europe. He has also created fifteen animal paintings and marine scenes, all acquired by the Vitalité Health Network.

He is also a portrait painter and his Acadie vivante collection, representing Acadian personalities, were purchased by Assumption Life. His seventh collection, The Circle of Chiefs, represents twelve leaders of indigenous communities. Passamaquoddy leader Hugh Akahi describes it as the "most beautiful treaty of friendship between Acadians and Native Americans that we have never managed to negotiate with governments" and the artist himself says that it is his greatest work, adding that he wishes it to become a "symbol of respect and friendship.” The book Le grand esprit: a circle of life, by Armand Roy, appears on the subject in 2006 at Éditions de la Francophonie. The collection is on display at Richibouctou.

He plans to make a new collection at the World Acadian Congress in 2009 but regrets at this time that his name is not on the program; the organization maintains that the guide was not long enough to cite artists not officially attending the conference.
