Treasures of nature: an exhibition by Margaret Affleck

1 September – 31 October 2020

Emerging artist Margaret Affleck studied art at high school and used her drawing skills to illustrate her science projects and field studies in Year 12 Biology. However, in her career she followed her love of music, studying in London and Adelaide to become a music teacher.
Now in her retirement, Margaret has resumed her interest in painting and has studied with art teachers in Perth and attended many workshops with interstate and international artists. Margaret has a multi-purpose studio for both art and music.
This selection of watercolour paintings developed from the artist’s love of the native flora of Western Australia reflecting the artist’s desire to establish a connection with her new bush block home in Margaret River.
She has recorded the species of trees and bushes around her home and is currently working on the wildflowers that grow among the Jarrah and Marri vegetation. All works are for sale through the artist.

The Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists is located at the entrance to the Margaret River Library and is easily accessible. For the latest open times visit the library blog  here.
