Margaret Riordan

Born in Bristol, England, I have been painting and drawing all my life as a hobby and have entered many competitions with success at local and national level. Over 500 of my works have been sold throughout the UK, Europe, North America - world-wide, through exhibitions, and galleries, and now online I enjoy painting in all mediums and particularly love the human form. I love to paint people, and will often get pleasure from just doodling a sketch of someone at a railway station for example, I like doing portraits, and I love capturing the movement of people dancing, playing sport, etc. I get my inspiration from Jack Vettriano and I adore David Downton, the fashion illustrator. My other great passion is painting horses. I like painting animals, buildings, scenery, trains, boats, planes. If it's there, I want to paint it! I was a secretary by profession but have always loved to paint as a pastime. I have never been short of people commissioning me to do more. Arthritis unfortunately prevents me from painting as a profession, so my paintings will not flood the market and any painting you purchase from me hopefully will be valuable by its rarity. Thank you for looking. If my work is marked NFS not for sale, this may be because it is being temporarily exhibited elsewhere. Please contact me for more information.
