Saturday, Nov 2 – 16  Emotion and Experimentation by Margo Swena, paintings in the Pop-up Gallery 

Margo Swena, a passionate local artist known for her vibrant and expressive works, draws inspiration from the emotions she feels and the world around her. For Swena, art is not just a craft but a deep-seated passion that drives her to constantly explore and push the boundaries of her creativity. Her journey as an artist is marked by a fearless willingness to experiment with different techniques, blending styles and mediums to create pieces that resonate with both herself and her audience. “I paint what I feel,” says Margo, whose works often reflect a dynamic range of emotions, from joy and serenity to introspection and longing. This emotional connection to her art is what fuels her creative process. Whether she’s working with bold strokes of acrylic or delicate watercolors, Margo’s pieces are a testament to her belief that art should evoke a response, not just from the viewer but from the artist herself. Her experimental approach allows her to continuously evolve, making each piece a unique expression of her artistic journey.

The Pop-up Gallery is available for FMAAA member artists to usme for short duration exhibitions of a collection or a newer body of work.
