Read about her in the blogs!

Suzanne Beal "Northwest artist Margie Livingston has long been admired for her paintings of objects from the natural world. But in "Riff: New Paintings" she proves she's a sculptor as well - albeit a sculptor of paint.

Jen Graves: "Yes, Livingston's wearing her debts on her sleeve in these new works, but let's see where she's going."

Regina Hackett: "She uses it to dissect her representations, to pool her resources and to chart a lyrical course through light, space, form and time."

Ryan Molenkamp: "Call them painting sculptures, sculptural paintings, paint installations...call them what you will, they are delightful and interesting to look at, which is no easy thing. Check it out."

Joey Veltkamp: "And what began as a happy accident (as much great art does), has now been developed into a really interesting new body of 3-D work."

Artist Statement

As I work, my goal is to keep the process open so that accident and discovery can combine with invention to make works that surprise me. In hopes of making work that is not merely personal but also cognizant of history and relevant to our time.
