Margaret Cameron Margaret Vinson Cameron is a Kentucky born artist who now lives in Cumming, Georgia. She began painting after retiring from newspaper, real estate, cosmetology, Kraft Foods, Western Apparel store display designer and TV commericals with The Morning Show, Nashville. Hearing about Baltimore, Md. being well know for their painted window screens in the 1930s, Margaret tried her hand at painting a screened door. A solo show at the Sawnee Center and local news article was followed with inclusion in the August 2004 issue of Southern Living. Acrylic is the medium used on screen wire and the fiberglass sculptures she has painted for two cities. Oil on canvas is used for portraits and landscapes. |
