Marg gives back to her community by painting on Monday afternoons at the Foothills Country Hospice for the residents and their families. She annually co-organizes a fundraising event for the Hospice, called Art With Heart.

A beautiful log cabin tucked away in the trees warmly welcoming you home

Prairie landscape with grain fields in foreground, big prairie sky with clouds, and an elevator and some farming type buildings on the horizon

Golden reflections of colourful shrubs dance across the slow moving waters of a lazy river.

A picturesque tree lined back road is lit by the sun, as an invititing gesture as one drives home.

A man and his best friend on a crest of a hill, soaking in the warmth and beauty of the sunset while silently enjoying each other’s company.

A Mosquito airplane breaks through the clouds on its way home

Tucked away in the trees while the winter sun shines on the snow, this little settler’s home is inviting you into its warmth.

Sassy looking alpaca giving the eye, as if to say What ARE you looking at?

A crisp, clear sunny winter day with fresh tracks down a country lane of fresh snow welcomes the viewer. Tall elm trees reach up through the brilliant blue winter sky.

Inspired by a photo compliments Andrew Kiss, this painting displays the beauty of autumn in the Rocky Mountain or foothills area. Brilliant golds contrasted with the dark green spruce trees glisten in the special light only found during the autumn season. These vibrant colours are reflected in a remote small lake found at the base of the mountains

The resplendent old bridge at Cumberland Crossing, Kentucky is enveloped in a soft warm mist of the early morning as the sun gently shines through creating magnificent reflections on the serene river.

A peaceful mountain landscape with crisp clear colours. Mountains standing guard in the background as a playful alpine pond peeks through the crsip green grass. This painting is from a reference photo taken near Canmore Alberta
