Margaret Grimes’ paintings are an intimate observation of nature, with all its seemingly disordered complexity, informed by an abstract structure. She received an M.F.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and has shown at Fischbach and Blue Mountain galleries as well as a number of national and regional galleries and museums including the National Academy of Design (where she won the Benjamin Altman Prize in 2004), the National Academy of Sciences, the Philbrook, Ringling, Davenport, Newport, RAHR-West, Artists Choice and Woodmere Museums. She has been exhibiting at Blue Mountain Gallery since 1980.
Writing in Art in America P.C. Smith said of her last show at Blue Mountain Gallery, “The thicket is a motif that Margaret Grimes has been exploring for over a decade. Her large-scale, direct, intuitive handling of complexity has often been impressive…This show made strides towards a resolute modernism.”
