Margaret Ritsch

Welcome to my website! I am a relative newcomer to the art world, having begun painting in mid 2024 after retiring from a career in marketing communications and teaching.

My artwork is inspired by the natural world but most pieces do not represent a specific location or time. My work aims to express the transcendent experience that nature can offer. On the home page of this website you'll see an example. The painting captures a magical moment on the Osprey Trail, which winds around a lake near my home in Greensboro, N.C.

Oil and acrylic are my primary media, and I also create mixed media works using Japanese origami paper, wallpaper and paper scraps.

Artwork

My pieces can be found in private collections in North Carolina, Ohio, Texas and Washington, D.C. By August, 2025 they will available at the Marshall Muse Gallery in Greensboro, and in August and September they will also be at the Center for Visual Artists, also in Greensboro.
