Inspired by nature
Artist Bio
About Margie Light
About 20 years ago I found myself accompanying my family to Salt Lake City, Utah. My visa did not allow me to work but instead gave me the opportunity to explore painting, which I had wanted to do for a long time.
I took watercolour classes for five years from Harold Petersen at the Petersen Art Centre.
The Rocky Mountains were an amazing place to begin this journey. I have since returned to Brisbane where I continue to paint.
My inspiration comes from nature. It may be something I have spotted while walking in my neighbourhood or on one of the bushwalking trails that I love. My painting is a way of bringing the outside beauty inside where it comforts and reminds me how wonderful this world is. Watercolour is my preferred medium but I am also happy working with acrylic and oil.
I hope that in all my paintings there is something of nature and something of me.
