Margaret Arthur Pickett is a native of Tennessee and a graduate of the University of Tennessee~Knoxville. She has always been interested in art and photography, travel and study, and nature in all of it's forms.
 
Bright color is her hallmark; she works in watermedia, collage and monoprints. For many years she studied with nationally known artists at the Grand Strand Watercolor Workshops in Myrtle Beach , South Carolina. She is a Signature Member of the Southern Watercolor Society, the Watercolor Society of Alabama, and Experimental Artists of Alabama.

Maggie has been juried into other National Exhibitions: Red River Watercolor Society in Fargo, North Dakota; Georgia Watercolor Society and in their Travel Show; and a Biennial Exhibition at the Wiregrass Museum of Art in Dothan, Alabama.

She has won many awards over the years, and often shared her love of art by giving demos of various techniques to local groups.  Much of her work is semi abstract, using transparent pigment and bright color, and often with repetition of shapes, circles and triangles, and with texture.
