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
early1990’s she began to paint scenes of
African tribesmen and women. This was a
result of many trips to book stores and
libraries whereshe researched and
studied facets of African culture.
During this time she also re-discovered
her love of cloth and her wish to
createflowing fabrics, on the bodies of
her images. Contact Ms. Warfield
