About Margo
Margo Locke's style combines the expressive feeling of Vincent Van Gogh with the simplicity of American Folk Art but in a watercolor media. Like Grandma Moses, she depicts many rural scenes of people and places, and like Van Gogh, her emotions are presented through her subjects.
As with both artists' works, the planes and perspectives are not exactly realistic, proving that the painting exists in the higher realm of the heart.
Her colors and themes often are bright and place her among contemporary artists. You will enjoy the art of Margo Locke!
