Margaret Henning – Sayville, New York

My journey with making art began almost 9 years ago while recuperating from a serious illness.   

I was invited to take an art class from a local artist and that was the beginning of this wonderful part of my new life as an artist.  I expanded my education to online classes and lessons from a local artist which broadened my outlook and sparked a talent which was never explored.  I have also taken classes abroad and will be travelling to Tuscany in September to continue my education. 

Every medium that I work with seems to push me further towards  my interest to keep learning and painting.  The creative process is an intrinsic part of my life that I cannot live without. Abstraction has opened my eyes to color, line, space and texture and has brought me to a new level as a painter.

 At this point in my life, I cannot imagine how I had ever lived without expressing the art from within me for all of these years.  I look forward to many, many more years of experimentation, learning and painting to become the best artist I can be.

Art is subjective but it is my hope that the viewer of my art will walk away with a sense of calm and enjoyment.   

I am a member of Women Sharaing Art, Huntington Arts Council and Islip Arts Council.  My art can be seen at margarethenning@womensharingart.org.
