Margaret Adams is a working Artist and Art Teacher

I am a painter with a varied background. Currently I am enjoying painting with wax. I mix beeswax with oil paint  hardened with dammar resin. I often incorporate old metal I find in Mexico as well as gravel, pieces of scrap paper and anything else that creates a spark of interest. My work is usually abstract with a leaning to towards landscape.

Working with the children in Mexico I use acrylics on large pieces of paper or board. By working in a larger format the children are freed up exploring out of their comfort range in both colour and size. Many of the children have never used paint in this way before. It only takes a few minutes for them to find their style and focus. Without exception they are thrilled and excited with the results.
