Meet The Team

Margaret has been painting for many years now, exhibiting in local, regional, and national shows, where she has won numerous awards.

“I am primarily self-taught, being encouraged as a child by my mother, and currently work mostly in pastel and acrylic,” Margaret explains.

She also enjoys photography and currently leads the guild’s Photography Group.

“Like many other guild members, I joined MAG after quitting full-time work,” she says. “The guild is a welcoming group that I am glad to be a part of. Being an artist can be lonely.”

Margaret is an abstract painter, drawing from natural forms, especially earth forms such as hills, rocks, plants, and other natural forms.

“My work is intuitive and has no relationship to any concrete thing, nor does it ever represent a specific place,” she says.

Her preferred mediums are acrylic and pastel.

“Pastel is especially satisfying to me because it is so direct with no mixing of colors on a palette. “

As a photographer, her training was in traditional film.

She approaches digital photography from that background and is a big fan of black and white.

“I do, however, enjoy playing with digital filters,” she says.
