MARGARET DYER - BLOG | EMAIL

At a moment in 1970, when a model dropped her robe and stood naked in front of a class of wide-eyed eighteen year old art students, I found something in life I loved the challenge to draw the living, breathing, continuously moving landscape of the human body. What started out as a challenge quickly became a passion. Ten years later, when I happened upon an artists dynamic pastels at a local exhibition, I knew I had discovered my medium.

The subjects of my paintings are almost always people. They're my daughters, sisters, friends, and sometimes just a passer-by who caught my attention and was not frightened by my proposition to paint her.
