Margie Sheppard
Margie Sheppard studied oil painting and printmaking at the South Australian School of Art, graduating in 1974. For many years, Margie has worked as a very successful printmaker. She has exhibited widely in Australia and has received recognition by winning awards and prizes for her work. Her works reflect symbolic subjects, such as boats, water, fish and figures.
Margie says of her work: "Themes and ideas, unconsciously arrived at, are gradually and loosely woven through my work. For example, earlier my figures were in pairs, often mirror images, alluding to how it is for one to be with another, companiable perhaps - a state through which we often see the world. (The) new body of work is more about how it is for the individual to be in the world."
Margie’s prints nearly always require a three plates process.
