About Margaret McLauchlan

​

I spent my childhood in small remote communities all over the Canadian Arctic.  Although I have lived in Kingston for many years I continue to travel "north of ordinary" as often as possible.  Those wide open spaces where you can see forever are exquisitely beautiful and haunt my soul.

​

I am playing with the new Tri-Art line of liquid glass acrylic paints.  I love the depth, the layerings and the movement that these paints produce.  I paint on the floor so I am looking at it from above, as if I am in a small plane flying over the masses of waterways and ice and tundra in the north.  All my paintings are imaginary abstract works anchored with ice and shades of blue.

​

It is very hard to get good photos of my paintings.  Liquid glass paint dries  extremely glossy and looks wet even when dry.  It is as reflective as glass.   All paintings are on cradled birch or maple.
