Margaret Governale

I am a Long Island based contemporary realist painter. I am captivated by the ever-changing landscapes that surround me, and it is within the timeless beauty of these scenes that I discover the essence of my artistic expression. Oils on canvas are my chosen companions in this visual journey. The richness and depth of oil paints allow me to convey the nuanced textures of the landscapes I explore. Through a combination of traditional techniques and my own experimental approaches, I aim to evoke a sense of connection and introspection. Each painting tells a silent story, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the contemplation of the landscapes and discover their own narratives within the canvas.
