Margot Tidd
Margot Tidd has been an Artist for 33 years. Born in the West-Indies with French bloodlines ,she has been an active member of The Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago and has featured in 8 Art exhibits. She held a joint Art exhibition in 2014 with her daughter.She specializes in Architectural and Historical pieces as well as Landscape and Environmental subject matter. However her piece on Slavery was selected in preliminary stages as part of a United Nations project in 2011 titled "Endure- The Affect of Slavery on African Women". She has also participated and sold her art at an auction in Los Angeles, at The Museum of Latin American Art and recently exhibited at Spectrum Miami.

She works in many different media, however acrylic is her favourite medium because of its quick drying time, permanence and versatility. Notes, photographs and sketches are used as references and combined with observation to enhance her ability to conceptualize. Constantly studying her surroundings trains Margot's visual memory and helps her when combining reality with imagination.

The lack of the human form in her landscapes is a deliberate omission, geared at bringing the viewer to the realization of the need to protect Mother Nature from man's potential to destroy the world around him and to encourage the viewer to step back and acknowledge the beauty of our land.

It is the artist's hope that she could evoke an awareness of something unnoticed or forgotten in our surroundings and that her paintings will invite viewers to move into the scene within the picture frames, only to return with renewed love and respect for our natural environment.

Being an artist makes Margot strive towards a better awareness of God, her environment, the people around her and herself. The ability to create a mere image of nature's magnificence is a gift she will always cherish.
