Margaret Dries has been creating art for as long as she can remember, from her very first set of treasured Prismacolor pencils. Born and raised in Wisconsin, she studied Fine Art at the University of Wisconsin in Whitewater and then moved to Chicago before eventually relocating to New Hampshire. She owns Sunset Hill Studio, a design and art studio in North Conway.

Margaret’s work is recognized for the bold colors, shapes and brushstrokes that play out on her canvas as each piece takes on life. She likes to work on several paintings at a time so multiple opportunities exist to capture colors and imagery as they develop. It keeps her process lively and the energy high.

She has pieces in private collections and has exhibited in the Mount Washington Valley.
