MARGARET LIPSEY
Margaret began painting with acrylics in 2000 while she was studying at Culinary school in Vermont. She enjoyed the freedom and emotions of abstract art. Her abstracts are inspired by her minimalist and modern aesthetic and through the exploration of other art forms, developed into what they are today.
She returned to painting in 2015 with a series of dresses in watercolour. Her practice gained momentum when she began exploring the series in acrylic. Building textures, creating sweeping movements and the play of colours off her palette knives coupled with the image of a woman standing in a gown created a unique work that carries the life force of the women who inspire us all.
With a deepening need to explore textures, she began again to create her abstract works. Her latest series, Lavishly Minimal, references all that we hide from ourselves, the cracks that allow the treasures of the truth of ourselves to be released, and our hopes against the struggles that threaten to defeat us.
Margaret lives and paints in Saint Lambert, Quebec with her husband and two children.
