Artwork is meant to be shared, it is a back and forth between the artist, and the viewer. Painting with a twist combines realistic elements, often using animal characters to tell a story, in an Unrealistic Setting. Whether the artwork is exploring Environmental, Humorous, Political, Socially Conscious, or Heartwarming topics, the artist is trying to paint with a twist that engages the viewer. The idea is to connect with the audience, and ask them to contemplate something from a new angle.
Margot been working full time as an artist for decades. ‘I consider the creative process to be a vocation, or a calling, rather than a job.
