Margaret A. Bernier is an accomplished painter of marine and landscapes of the New England region.  Born and raised in the Chicago area, she received her earliest education in the fine arts through the Art Institute of Chicago.  Margaret began painting actively in 2000, taking instruction from Enrico Donati.  More recently, she has studied with Kevin Shea, a Copley Society Master.

Bernier’s interest in painting is rooted in the works of the late 19th and 20th century American Impressionist Masters of the New England Region.  Margaret is an active member of the Newburyport Art Association, and has participated in a number of one-person and group shows, including:

 

• Newburyport Art Association, Winter Juried Show, 2008
• Newburyport Art Association, Winter & Fall Juried Shows, 2006
• Lowell’s Boat Shop (National Historic Site) Show, 2007 & 2006
• South Ends Arts Spring and Fall Shows, 2006 & 2005
• Enrico Donati Fine Arts, Spring and Fall Shows, 2004 & 2003
• Parker River National Wildlife Center, Opening Show, 2002

 

She has the honor of having her work included in public and private collections throughout the United States.
