Margo Thomas
Edwards, CO
Acrylic, resin, ink, portrait, digital artist. Inspired by my home in the Colorado mountains.
MessageArt Students League of Denver 2001-2004
Human figure drawing, contour drawing, watercolors, inks, charcoals. Discovered my inner artist through quick sketches and long pose studies. My biggest take away is to “draw what I think I see”.
Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts, Chicago 2005-2006
Human figure drawing, long and short poses. Most studies were nude, focusing on the human form, perspective, dimension, and lighting.
Verite Designs 2019-present
Commercial offering of my art by investing in acrylics, acrylic pouring, digital art, inks, and resin. Most of my portfolio has been generated and refreshed starting in 2019.
Statement
“When one door closes, another opens up”
In 2018 I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease. Strapped with spending half of my time dealing with the illness, treatments, and side effects, I had no choice but to rely on Medicaid for health insurance. Specifically, a Colorado program for working adults. Meaning I had to make at least $1 a month to be covered! What could I do that a. I was good at, b. I was passionate about and c. Could be done peacefully at home? My art!
Reinvesting in a talent discovered years prior not only opened my mind and heart to new possibilities, but also was a way to make a little bit of money! Commissions and sales flowed in. I’ve created a broad inventory of original pieces and a creative way to customize most of my designs. In 2020, I have taken both my passion and the business of art to a new level.
Thank you for browsing my gallery. I hope it brings you peace and joy.
