What people say about my work

This painting holds so much meaning for me personally. I had spoken with Margaret about possibly commissioning a piece as a tribute or to hold a lasting memory of my fertility journey. But when I saw this painting, I immediately fell in love with it. The meaning is personal but beautiful. I love the way paintings evoke different feelings and emotions to each person. That is the artist’s skill and intention at work

Lorraine

Owner of “Bluebells in a forest”

I was delighted to get Margaret to turn a favourite family photo into a beautiful acrylic painting as a gift for my wife. Margaret brought the picture to life using vivid autumnal colours and skilled painting techniques to draw the viewer to the central focus of the painting. We would strongly recommend her for similar commissions or her general landscapes. She is an up and coming artist. We take delight in her painting every day.

Brendan Lawlor

Commissioned “In step together”

I was thrilled when Margaret agreed to create a special painting as a wedding gift for a couple very important to me. Having admired Margaret’s work for many years I knew she would paint something wonderful. The painting far exceeded my expectations. The effort she put into getting an insight into the couple shone through in the painting. She captured their essence in a unique and beautiful picture that they absolutely love. The name of the painting ” Setting out Together” captures a special moment in their lives . This painting will be treasured and have pride of place in their home.

Deirdre

Commissioned “Stepping out together” as a wedding present

It’s fabulous Margaret. I am dying to show Ali. The painting is amazing. You’ve really captured the twins heading off to the unknown on an adventure. I really like the road disappearing and the mountains in the distance. We love it

Dave

Commissioned “Hand in Hand”

We bought one of Margaret’s fab paintings and now have it hanging up adding colour and vibrancy to the walls!

Aoife

Proud owner of “ A splash of colour”

I was delighted to choose one of Margaret’s paintings as it excellently captured being on top of the mountain and that spirit of anything being possible. It was a present for someone very special at a new chapter in their life. Thank you

What people say about my workshops…

Louise

Margaret nurtured a really lovely atmosphere and space to feel free to play, create and experiment. I felt any nervousness about making mistakes disappear thanks to this energy she created and was able to be far freer and see what emerged from the painting process. I learned so much and was pleasantly surprised how much could be learnt through the approach Margaret took with us. I feel empowered to use lots of colours and various techniques thanks to all she taught us

Claire

My time here in the class with Margaret was very worthwhile and beneficial. The way she taught the different techniques has improved my eye and skills which will stand to me throughout my art practice. A very talented and lovely person. Thank you Margaret for the class!!

Chris Daly

Understanding Colour has been a wonderful, fun course unleashing a new found interest or should I say rekindling and interest in art, colour, creativity and self expression. Margaret is an enthusiastic teacher guiding each of us towards our own artistic expression. I learnt a great deal about colour theory in a very practical, accessible way. Highly recommend the course

Antonio

Thank you Margaret for a wonderful weekend learning about and exploring colour. This was mostly all new to me so the way you ran the course was perfect. A well balanced mix of theory and practice, with lots of examples of your own work, reference books and a chance for us to develop and experiment our own techniques. Your sole focus on colour was perfect for me. Thanks again. I would highly recommend your course to anyone.

Victoria Sergeant

A fun filled, inspiring and encouraging workshop filled with lots of tools and creative ideas that will give new life to your art or, if you are like me, encourage you back to the canvas. Margaret is patient, kind and generous assisting you through her workshop to re-engage or discover your creative energy and spirit. Most importantly, she encourages you to be brave and fearless in your pursuit of art and its creation

Kerri

Margaret, what a way to escape for the weekend! I have learnt such amazing tips and tricks. Now to find time to practice. Highly recommend to anyone looking to take some time and experiment with different ways of painting with acrylics

Jen Fitzgerald

Margaret led a fun, playful and experimental workshop. Sharing lots of interesting mark-making exercises, we had lots of choices and the time flew. She is a natural and encouraging teacher. I go away with new inspirations and creative practices for my painting”

Catherine
