Margaret Ostrowski

Margaret has had a sixty year interest in the creative arts, winning her first prize for art at the age of ten at the CNE in Toronto. She has been a student at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design and has taken many other community art classes while holding a full time job as a lawyer and raising children. Now that she is retired she regularly paints in her home studio and has chosen acrylics as her medium because, as she has explained, they are opaque, forgiving, thick and earthy. Being an avid hiker, she particularly likes to paint mountains, trees, birds, the ocean and lakes.

She has been a supporting member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, a member of the West Coast Artists Guild, and the Brock House art group. Margaret has paintings in Australia, Toronto, New Westminster, White Rock and Vancouver. Her works have been exhibited online and in several local galleries. She donates all sale proceeds to SEVA for eye surgeries in Nepal and to the Third World Eye Care Society.
