Margaret Turner - Artist
Pastel and Oil Fine Art
About Margaret Turner
​​
Margaret is a respected and highly-awarded traditional artist. She paints in oil and pastel. She is passionate about painting Australian landscapes - particularly trying to capture the majesty of old eucalyptus trees and beach sand scenes. She loves to use pastel to subtly capture light and atmosphere.
​
Margaret was born in Townsville and lived for many years in Canberra. She moved to Brisbane in 2004 to be near her family. She has also lived in Malta, Peru and the Netherlands for several years and draws inspiration from these places, as well as the Australian landscape.
​
In 1988, she took art lessons from Canberra pastel artist Judy McConchie. Pastel was not widely used at the time but she was captivated. Since then she has honed her craft over time and has developed into an in-demand artist.
