Yes, this piece is tied to the creative writings of Maya Angelou. The renowned poem often echo’s in my mind as I paint. “Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size, but when I start to tell them, they think I’m telling lies…”

Incredible color and movement in this exquisite piece of art.

Since the early 1980's, the work of Margaret Warfield has involved the creation of works on canvas and paper. Initially her work reflected images reminiscent of her childhood, i.e., landscapes of the hills of Tennessee. Her chosen medium, at that time, was oil paints and occasionally pastels. Over the years, however, she switched to acrylic paints, enjoying the ease of covering a surface quickly with vibrant opaque colors. In the early 1990’s she began to paint scenes of African tribesmen and women. This was a result of many trips to book stores and libraries where she researched and studied facets of African culture. During this time she also re-discovered her love of cloth and her wish to create flowing fabrics, on the bodies of her images. Contact Ms. Warfield and BC.
