Margaret Hamlin

Margaret Hamlin happens to be my mum. Achievement enough for anyone, you might think. But she is also a painter and, with help of Russians, has carefully put together a website of some of her work.

She has painted all her life, and her pictures have for years been salted away in private collections in the most unlikely places.

Her art has always been inspired by natural forms, and the magic in places like Guernsey where we used to live. Some of her work is often super-real, literally painting in every petal in a garden of flowers. Her colour sense is stunning, and she lately she has evolved a strong trend towards abstraction - but natural forms lurk just under the surface.

It would be bad manners to not to visit her site at www.margaret-hamlin-artist.com
