Margaret Kingston
Margaret Kingston is an oil painter and art educator from Winthrop, Washington. Originally from New Hampshire, she moved 3000 miles with her husband, Jonathan Baker, to the Methow Valley after visiting the North Cascades National Park. Landscapes of the Pacific Northwest have been her inspiration for the past 13 years, captured first through a photo then realistically painted on canvas. As a backcountry skier, hiker, paddle boarder and biker, Margaret captures the energy of places these activities take you. Viewers often say when viewing her work, “It feels like I’m standing there.”
Margaret offers original oil paintings, reproductions, magnet prints, private art lessons at her Winthrop studio, and custom painting services using a client's favorite photo. Get a price quote for your own custom painting by emailing MkOilPaintings@gmail.com.
