| Margot Lovinger Seattle WA Born and raised in Boston, Margot's interest in art started at an early stage. Attending weekend workshops and classes at local art associations and at the Museum of Fine Arts furthered her enthusiasm. After high school she enrolled in art school at Parsons School of Design, in New York City. After two years as a sculpture major in their fine arts department, she transferred to the Museum School in Boston where she completed her education, earning her BFA in 1993. After many years in Boston, and a few years in Los Angeles she moved to Seattle, where she presently lives and works. Margot says, "The experimental enviroment of the Museum School encouraged me to follow my interest in creating art from fabrics. My work started with 'story quilts' that were interactive, and required the viewer's participation to reveal the full narrative. Though I was always fascinated by figure painting, (particularly the works of the renaissance masters, such as Caravaggio) the medium frustrated me, and most of my paintings showed this. Eventually, my interest in the textures and techniques of sewing merged with my fondness for the rich colors and imagery of figure painting, and I began creating these sewn, layered fabric portraits. I have been working in this technique for about 7 years." You will have to see Margot's work to appreciate the layers upon layers of sheer fabric that create the complete images. Her work has been included in many exhibitions country wide, including a number of Solo exhibitions and is included in private collections in California, Massachusetts, New York, Florida and Washington. |
