Margaret Nadeau

Expressing art in various forms has been a part of Margaret's inner self since childhood.  She graduated in Art from UCLA, where S, MacDonald-Wright influenced her observation of form which she has applied in her paintings. She has studied under other well-known painters and sculptors.  She has created  numerous  works  of sculpture in  bronze , stone, and terra cotta and has shown them in galleries and art shows in Saratoga and  Santa Barbara, California as well as in Houston,Texas.

Since 1998 Margaret has devoted herself to landscape and still-life painting in oil.   In pursuing this passion of painting , she has studied under famous oil painters from Southern California and  professionals   from other states.

Margaret has shown her paintings in several galleries in Santa Barbara and has participated in many  well-known art shows.  She has won several  awards including First Place and Best in Show.  She is a member of MAST, California Art Club, Santa Barbara Art Association,  Goleta Valley  Art  Association and SCAPE (Southern California Artists Painting for the Environment).

Her inspiration comes from "the endless beauty  of  nature bathed in the glow of sunrise or sunset light."   Painting full time, she prefers the Plein-Air approach in a location in Santa Barbara or in other places in California.

Her work can be seen at Gallery 113 and the Faulkner Gallery in Santa Barbara and the Goleta Library Gallery in Goleta, as well as various shows  throughout the year in Santa Barbara, California.  Her art work can be viewed by appointment at her studio.
