People often ask me this when they see my work in person…

🌷 We’re looking at six layers of paint beside three (+/-).

I love these close observations from fellow art lovers. Looking to see 👁️ and listening to hear👂are arts in themselves. Let’s talk 🎨 🤗

This NEW 12x24 tulip painting will be available at Maine Art Collective’s Middle Street gallery in #portlandmaine when we open for the season on May 15! 🎉 #artgallery #buyoriginalart #organize #artaslife @maineartcollective

I have the best birds.

Sunday morning sitting on my couch, the bird song outside was so startlingly beautiful, layered with rain and the distant whooshing of cars and the rattle of the neighbor’s dooryard project - that I had to put my book down and just listen, amazed, to that bird outdoing himself once again.

More than once I’ve been about to embark on a project, so I open my music app, and then - wait - there’s already music - live music, from these birds - and I’m the only human here to enjoy it here and now. It’s precious because of its ethereality. The most original of art.

Here’s a new piece of art I made recently. Let’s call it “Birdsong” in honor of birdsong. 24x36 acrylic on canvas

For those of you nosy about my social life, I’ve been single since I lost my fiancé 2.5 years ago - until the past few months when I had the joy of dating a beautiful man from Alaska. Turns out we’re not for each other, but I felt very lucky to be with him for a little while.

Fireweed is found in fields and forests and beside the roads in Alaska. It has medicinal and culinary uses. It’s known for its resilience. It grows where the ground has been burned - hence its name. Fireweed is recognized as a symbol of hope, of a healing shift to new beginnings.

This painting grew organically with my intuitive method, and no knowledge that this particular flower exists. When the painting was nearly complete, I went looking online for wild Alaskan flowers that it might resemble. Since I wasn’t intentionally painting fireweed, so does it actually resemble fireweed? In shape, no. In spirit? Definitely.

Adding charcoal to my stem color 🖤 My newest phone update threw me for a loop with all the changes, but one I really like is that I can record video while I’m listening to music! Couldn’t do that before — when I turned my camera to video the music stopped, and I don’t like that. Music is in all of my art. ❤️ 🎨 🦋 #dance #artista #maineartist #originalart #love

One of my favorite moments in my painting process is when scattered pieces are drawn together into a whole. It’s so satisfying to orchestrate a system that resolves chaos into cohesion, structure, and beauty.

“Meadow Lark” is a 24” x 36” original mixed media painting. It offers a gentle space dense with botanical growth in soft greens. Its tranquil presence can anchor a room while keeping it light. 🌿 I painted a 5” x 7” “Meadow Lark” last year — that one was named for the bird, and has since been adopted. This Lark refers to a playful meadow frolic, in the mind of this artist, though it can become anything the beholder sees. Available at joyannamargo.com (link in profile). 🌿 #originalart #collectmaineart #frolic #camdenmaine #love
