Margaret Jarvis has been painting for about eight years now - in fact she gave up work as a legal secretary to do just that.   Apart from a couple of years under Joan Miller at the college class, she is self taught, and still finds every painting she does a very satisfying learning curve.   She has successfully sold several paintings through the Swindon Artists Forum, of which she is secretary, and she considers the fact that someone actually likes what she does enough to buy it quite mind boggling and thrilling at the same time.   She paints any subject that strikes her, quite often flowers, fruit and vegetables and still life, as she is attracted by natural shapes and colour.

Commissions in acrylic, oil, watercolour and coloured pencil are welcomed, and she can be contacted on her home number, 01793 612382,  or by e-mail on margjar@talktalk.net
