Margy cruickshank has been artist all her life and has drawn, painted and used all manner of fabrics and mediums to give expression to her surroundings, emotions and experiences. She recently returned to her creative pursuits and began to explore new mediums, new techniques, larger canvases, papers and pastels. Her painting style is based on realism, but with a responsiveness to the senses, so all her representations elucidate different responses based on an individuals personal contexts.
Ms Cruickshank studied art under renowned teacher Sue Richter, and with the famous Flying Art School run by the University of Queensland’s Mervyn Moriarty. Most recently she has studied with the renowned Maxwell Wilks and Jean Francoise Rochecouste. She had dreams of becoming an art teacher, however, life, marriage, children and droughts interceded. She did continue to pursue art, with many of her early works held in private collections throughout the Eidsvold, Biloela, Theodore and Banana areas.
