Artist Statement:
The immediate source of my
work is the painting process
itself. Paint is applied,
moved around, scraped and
scratched and reapplied.
Images arise from this ongoing
interaction with the work in
progress. Painting is
intuitive, intense,
non-verbal, physical, active.
It is a process of building up
and stripping away again in a
search for what is
fundamental. It moves back and
forth between complexity and
simplicity in an effort to
find that place where nothing
can be added or taken away
without destroying the whole.
For me, painting is both a
process of discovery and a way
of exploring deeper layers of
meaning. My work is an
expression of my connection to
the natural world and its
continuing cycles of birth,
growth, death, decay, and
renewal. The immediate
environment, both manmade and
natural, provides a constantly
changing source of visual
stimulation. The paintings
have deep roots in the
physical environment.

| Your Personal Biography |
Margaret Glew is a professional visual artist with an active studio practice in painting and drawing. Her large scale abstractions explore issues of scale as it relates to the human body, and the ways in which the form and scale of a painting embody its content. It is painting that is deeply rooted in physical experience, and the transformative power of action. She finds parallels between her painting processes (creation/destruction/recreation) and the natural, evolutionary and transformative forces that shape our environment, and through which we define our relationship to it.
She has an extensive history of exhibitions dating back to 1989, and her work is in a number of public and corporate collections. She is represented in Toronto by Engine Gallery. In the summer of 2007, she was one of eight Canadian artists invited to participate in "Parca, Canada in New York" at the 511 Gallery in Chelsea, NYC.
She is an active member of the Toronto arts community, where she presently serves on the board of the John B. Aird Gallery. At the Aird she is involved in the mounting of two juried shows per year (The Drawing Show and the Print Show) as well as with the Aird’s annual fundraiser, Mistletoe Magic. She was for four years a member of the Loop Gallery artist collective, and continues to be an active member of PVAC/Gallery 1313, where she has served on the board and on the program committee as well as being involved in a hands-on way with the mounting of PVAC exhibitions.
