Margo Magid BFA

Margo Magid believes that in this age our personal landscapes are limitless.  We become what we see and the stories that we tell. 

She studied painting with Koho Yamamoto, C. C. Wang, Amalie Rothschild, Grace Hartigan, Sam Francis and Hilton Brown.  She works in oil, acrylic, sumi, collage and photography– often in combination.

She believes art is a story well-told.  For the past several years, she has painted warscapes:  landscapes of war that she has seen, remembered or envisioned.  These warscapes reach for those indelible moments on the battlefield where everything is possible, even ecstasy. Her involvement began during the time she spent in the Middle East and Central Asia, and intensified with Desert Storm, living through Ground Zero and following subsequent military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq closely.  

She has exhibited in New York, Toronto, Berlin, London, Shanghai and Florence.  In 2008, she will have shows in Madrid, Beijing, Shanghai and Barcelona.
