Margaret Chwialkowska

Margaret's painting is inspired by nature, particularly the power and richness of the North American landscape. She works primarily in the Ottawa, Ontario area, focusing on the banks of the Ottawa River and the forests of the Gatineau Hills, trying to capture both its timeless grandeur and the ever-changing moods of its snow-banks, trees, and sunsets.

She paints in oil, 'alla prima,' blending pigments together directly on the canvas using a palette knife. This technique allows textures to evolve naturally and permits a loose, spontaneous style.

The goal of her painting is to evoke the mood of a natural setting and to capture the feeling of being overwhelmed by the natural, almost magical beauty of a landscape.
She is captivated by the creative process of painting and compelled by the spirituality that overtakes when contemplating a landscape.

She wants her art to be positive, free, beautiful, and romantic--something you cannot live without.
