Margaret Lawrence:
Fresh Air
Fresh Air is an exhibition of new oil paintings by Margaret Lawrence.
Reception: Thursday, October 7, 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
“Taking inspiration from the natural beauty Maine has to offer, these paintings further my exploration of the intersection of water, land, and sky. Given the various challenges of the past year - global, national, and personal, I am increasingly grateful to live so close to nature, free to roam and breathe fresh air.”
~ Margaret Lawrence
Intrigued by varying elements in the landscape, Lawrence’s paintings are developed by removing paint as much as by applying it. Through the give and take of paint, an image that was inspired by a specific place transforms into a sense of place. This approach yields work that is charged with emotion and mood, remarkable for its rich, textural surfaces and the complexity of it’s palette.
Margaret has a background in nursing. In 1993 she earned her BFA with a concentration in painting at Maine College of Art in Portland.
