Since the early 1980's, the work of Margaret Warfield
has involved the creation of works on canvas and paper. Initially her
work reflected images reminiscent of her childhood, i.e., landscapes of
the hills of Tennessee. Her chosen medium, at that time, was oil paints
and occasionally pastels. Over the years, however, she switched to
acrylic paints, enjoying the ease of covering a surface quickly with
vibrant opaque colors. In the early 1990’s she began to paint scenes of
African tribesmen and women. This was a result of many trips to book
stores and libraries where she researched and studied facets of African
culture. During this time she also re-discovered her love of cloth and
her wish to create flowing fabrics, on the bodies of her images. Contact Ms. Warfield.
