Hello.
Margaret Leonard is a multifaceted artist who has a passion for both photography and oil painting. Her work often explores the intersection between art and the natural world, drawing inspiration from the divine creation of landscapes, people, and all creatures.
Margaret's art is deeply entwined in her spiritual practice of contemplative meditation. While only expressed outwardly in times which necessitate, it is a practice of loving or letting go which has kicked into high-gear in recent years and has allowed the art to flow.

You will often find Margaret meditating while writing, creating art or caring for a menagerie of rescued animals, including pigs, goats, cats, dogs, and chickens. For Margaret, the rural lifestyle is a source of inspiration, grounding, and tranquility.
Margaret's work is deeply influenced by the beauty of imperfection and transience. She is drawn to the feeling she gets around art and the countryside - the idea that beauty can be found in the imperfect, and that everything has a natural cycle of birth, growth, decay, and rebirth.
When you spend countless hours with a subject, you must form a connection. If you don’t have a spiritual experience, that energy will make the piece feel “off". Art it truly about feeling.
