Margaret Watts

My paintings include improvisational pieces tempered by a decreasing realism. I employ mixed water media, various objects, and acrylic skins on paper, canvas, board, wood, tar paper, and linoleum. Acrylic medium is applied with brush and knife, by throwing, pouring, and stamping paint. My differing styles are not necessarily evolving; what happens in the present is what you see and frequently a surprise. That to me is the mystery of creating. My passion is painting; I invite you to share this excitement with me.

I am an associate member of the Society of Layerists in Multi-media.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Since retirement as an educator ten years ago, I have studied with and traveled with artist, M. Douglas Walton in Cambodia, China, Thailand, Indonesia and Mexico. Douglas Walton has had a profound impact on the development of my art. I divide my time between Mississippi and Colorado where I studied with Oksana Ross, Denver CO.
