Margaret is a painter who distills the essence of ‘a landscape’.
Margaret’s acrylic and watercolour landscapes are interpretations and celebrations of the countryside and the natural world. She especially responds to the beauty of trees.
By means of bold composition, simplification, vibrant colours, and expressive brushstrokes her work shows the emotive effects of light on the land. Her work often draws us from dark towards light; from shadows under trees, or under a dark hedge, to a brightly lit area beyond.
As well as at other prestigious galleries, she has twice had work accepted for the annual competition of the Royal Watercolour Society and twice for the exhibition of the Royal Institute of Watercolour Painters at the Mall Galleries.
She shows her work at local exhibitions and online with Wychwood Art.
She is a member of, and represented by, Studio Fridays.
Her work can be seen on her website, www.margaretcrutchley.co.uk, and in Sofas & Stuff in central St Albans during Open Studios.
