Winter Works on Paper

Margaret Christianson

AUG 28th - Sept 14th

May to August, Margaret spends time in Northern Queensland, where the landscapes and rich biodiversity inspire new paintings and sculptures. Through her work—whether in metal or paint— she aims to capture the beauty, resilience, and movement of the natural world.

Treat yourself to an atmospheric journey through beaches, waterfalls, National Parks and its wildlife to experience the travels of an artist who paints 'in situ' as much as possible.

Now you can have a conversation with an artist who wants to share her passion of the Queensland coast with you as she talks about her connection with an environment, her swims with the stingrays and frolics amongst the seaweeds.

It is all in your reach when you visit Art Workshops Gallery in Montville.....

Exhibition Artworks

Margaret Christianson

Margaret is an Australian artist whose work bridges sculpture and painting, capturing the beauty, resilience, and fluidity of the natural world. Known for her corten steel sculptures, she skillfully balances organic forms with intricate details, often combining metal with natural elements like stone. Her recent works include several commissioned metal sculptures for clients in Queensland, which she is currently preparing for delivery.

Margaret’s art has been showcased in exhibitions across Australia, including METAL & PAINT at Red Gallery, Essence at Gallery Unbound, Freedom Reigns, Sculpture at Acheron - Within the Land, and Bolin Bolin Gallery at Bulleen Art and Garden. Her sculpture Coral Flow was sold through the Victorian Sculptors Association at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show (MIFGS), and she has also exhibited at the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron Easter Show.

Her vibrant acrylic paintings capture the light and energy of landscapes, with recurring motifs like waterlilies symbolizing reflection and beauty. Held in private collections, Margaret’s artwork continues to evolve, with new creations emerging for exhibitions and commissions.
