A Colorful Life
Margaret has been making art most of her life. She completed a formal art education later in life, but was always painting, crafting, weaving, and gardening while raising her 4 children in Michigan. Upon moving to North Carolina Margaret went back to school and received her Art Education degree from Meredith College. She taught high school art classes in the Wake county School system, wine and paint classes for adults in the evening, as well as Continuing Education classes for Wake County and has loved the creativity expressed by her students!
About Her Work
Given her history as an art educator Margaret enjoys creating in a wide variety of mediums and subject matters. She is currently working primarily in Acrylics and Watercolors. Floral paintings feature predominatly in her work but she also paints landscapes, home portraits, trucks and animals, people, garden tools… whatever catches her interest! She takes work on commission and holds private student classes in her home.
