Many children hear this kind of fond praise from their family, but only a few are fortunate enough to realize the expectation. Margaret Hearden pursued her love of art from the time she was old enough to hold a crayon in her hand.

Margaret's formal training began with Layton Art School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and has continued with workshops, classes and endless practice.

The last 40(plus) years have brought commercial painting, art fairs, free lance work including portraits, church decorations, and gallery exhibits...not to mention a husband and two daughters.
