About the Artist

Margaret Godfrey primarily paints landscapes, but she enjoys using a wide variety of subject matter for her artistic interpretation. Her pictures are mostly representational, painted in a loose and expressionistic style.  Living in a beautiful valley in Oregon and Big Island of Hawaii, she finds an abundance of inspiration in her surroundings. Margaret shares her enthusiasm for watercolor through teaching.  She taught for five years at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon, and now holds workshops and private lessons.
 
Margaret is an award-winning member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon, the Hawaii Watercolor Society, Watercolor West and East Hawaii Cultural Center. Her works have been in juried shows around the United States. She has pieces hanging in private and public collections in the U.S., Honduras, Canada and Japan.
 
Margaret is a self-educated artist with a background in education and counseling.  She has studied with nationally known watercolor artists Frank Webb, Al Stine, Carrie Burns Brown, Michael Schlicting, and Gerald Brommer.
