About

History

  • Check the archives for Lessons from the Pharaoh's Tomb, Part Two from November, 2010 through March, 2011 and Part One project January through October 2009 - both of which came about after a trip to Egypt in 2009. Similarities between historical pigments used in tombs and temples to that of the much later Golden Age of Dutch Art were discussed. The Part Two exhibit can be viewed onlne by Galerie Gabrie, of Pasadena, CA.

    Note: This blog began during the creation of eleven paintings inspired by the 17th century palette of works in Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art, an exhibition that traveled in the U.S. during 2006-07. All eleven paintings were presented as my exhibit, Lessons from the Low Countries in Portland, Oregon, June 2007.

Lessons from the Pharaoh's Tomb Part 1 Gallery

  • Tulip's in the Eye of Horus
    Lessons of the Pharaoh's Tomb is my latest body of work in my Lessons Series. It was inspired by a trip to Egypt in January 2009. The paintings feature imagery and pigments used since 3500 BC. I explored similarities between historical pigments used in tombs and temples from antiquity to that of the much later Golden Age of Dutch Art.

Lessons from the Low Country Gallery

  • Orphans of Wouter Winkel
    The "Lessons from the Low Countries" project came about due to my interest in Rembrandt and other Dutch masters; and my desire to study the historic pigments they used and introduce them into my work. Each work was inspired by the color palette of a select painting in the exhibit "Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art," which traveled the United States in 2006-07.

Permanent Gallery

  • Parlor Games
    This collection exemplifies the luscious colors and interesting subject matter used in Margret's work. After starting piano lessons in her adult years, she became fascinated with rare musical instruments and sheet music which she scoured antique shops to find. Many of these items are incorporated into compositions which have a musical theme. Striking and lively pigments are a continuous passion for her.
