MARGARET FORTEY

Painter of Watercolours on Silk

Margaret has developed a unique technique of landscape painting on silk, a difficult and painstaking, but very effective way of bringing out brilliant colours, deep reflections and a real "feel" for the outback.

Born in New Zealand, Margaret was raised and educated in Christchurch, then Wellington. Her first job was a Display Artist in Wellington, and at age 18 she moved to Sydney where she went to art school at East Sydney Technical College.

During her time in Australia, Margaret has fallen in love with the Australian bush,, and she enjoys bringing alive the vibrant colours of our harsh rock and water landscapes.

Many of her works go to large corporations and her overseas market is expanding rapidly, especially to Japan, Korea, North America and of course her native New Zealand.
