Margaret Miller Exhibits in Divine Wines

Professional Artist and Designer Margaret Miller has an exhibition of her work currently in Divine Wines, Wincanton High Street, until the end of the month. As well as examples of her portraits and views of Wincanton landmarks, she has a delightful selection of cards.

Margaret's current exhibition clearly shows what a versatile and accomplished artist she is. Working with pen and watercolour she produces quirky and highly recognizable portraits of people, their pets, their homes and landmark buildings such as Wincanton Town Hall, the Parish Church and Clementina's. Running through her work is humour, warmth and intimacy and she describes her work as influenced as much by cartoon and graphic novels as fine art. It is work to make you smile.

Margaret studied Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art, later gaining a B.A.(Hons) in Theatre Design/Three Dimensional Design at Central/St Martin's in London. Following a number of years working for the BBC as a Design Assistant on productions as diverse as "Allo Allo" and "Holby City", she now concentrates on her own creative artwork.

She has undertaken numerous commissions across a variety of subjects such as house portraits, both in the U.K. and abroad, animal and human portraiture, and images for business cards, websites and advertising.

She has illustrated several children's books, including The Life of Robert Burns by James Veitch (2010 Stenlake Publishing), and produced visualisations for gardeners and developers. These include the Silver Gilt award-winning show gardens 2009 and 2010 at the Malvern Gardening Show for Foliation Ltd, Newent and illustrations of proposed developments such as the Laverton Hall in Westbury.

Margaret was also awarded runner up in the international World of Interiors magazine "Design a Room" competition.
