Margaret’s journey with creating art began about 11 years ago.  At first it was a respite from a serious illness but then she expanded her education with online classes, researching the Masters and taking lessons from a local artist. This broadened her outlook and sparked a talent which was never explored.   She has studied in Spain and Tuscany with two wonderful artists.  Every medium that she works with seems to push her further in her path.  Creating art has become an intrinsic part of her life. 

 Her influence comes from her love of the water, natural formations, and simple colors. if She also loves the free feel of using inks while scraping and mark making on many different substrates to create abstract shapes and patterns.  Using different mediums in her art, such as molding paste, handmade papers, glazing mediums help to bring the painting to life. Her tools are tree branches, skewers and many other household objects.

She got an Honorable Mention from the Sights and Sounds Rhythms and Scales show at t Huntington Arts Council last year and also an Honorable Mention for her “Spring Blooms” which is currently showing in the Celebrating Creativity show at Mills Pond Gallery in St. James, NY.   

During the Pandemic she has concentrated on creating with oil and cold wax on paper and hardboards.  The process of scraping, rolling paint and layering has been a cathartic process for her during this difficult time we are all going through.
