Margaret shares her passion for art RENOWNED throughout the region for her panoramic murals and nature-inspired paintings, Margaret Hadfield has been sharing her talents at the Margaret Hadfield Gallery in the Artists Shed since 2019. “Here at the studio, people can take classes, admire works, and buy art sets that are hand-chosen and put together for any level of experience,” says Margaret, who embraced her passion for art young, selling her first painting at 13. Since then she says she’s become recognisable throughout Canberra and Queanbeyan and now teaches students a range of mediums and techniques such as watercolour, acrylics, pastels and oils. “We provide students with their own materials during all lessons,” she says. “We have four tutors working at the Artists Shed, all with different talents and specialisations. “One of our teachers, Julie-Anne Ure, has an amazing knowledge of art history to share. Another, Dennis Mortimer, teaches life drawing skills.” The 660sqm gallery also has an extensive and charming array of works to admire and purchase, Margaret says. “It’s my dream to be able to do what I do, and I love being able to share it with others,” she says.
