Marguerite Ward has traveled extensively, and continues to seek adventures which offer artistic inspiration.  Now living on 4  acres in rural Cambridge, Ontario and finally retired from several careers, beautiful memories demand to be painted.

Six weeks of camping safaris in Kenya and Tanzania in 2013 resulted in an irrepressible desire to further develop methods of artistic expression;  watercolour and pen and ink.  Improvement and growth follow frequent practice.  

Now a member of Studio 30, working alongside other artists, participating in critiques and workshops,  opportunities to showcase completed works is now more frequent.  Exposure to different kinds of paper and subjects continue to entice new challenges.

Life continues to be a journey of constant learning.  Joy is derived from  anticipation, the actual journey,  and unanticipated experiences.  Getting lost is part of the fun.  Beautiful surprises are right around the next corner.

  Painting demands focus and helps to restore balance and the return of peace.
  Continuous learning gives purpose to life.





                 My understanding of art is to attempt to convey both what I see and what I feel:  a visual interpretation and a spiritual experience.
