Margaret Kearney-

Here is a young artist who, like you, has started the process of developing and shaping her artwork to match her IDEAS. You can see examples of her work from high school, through her years at RISD on her site linked below.

Look what she was doing in her sketchbook, and how she uses pattern, shapes and (fantastic) color combinations.

From her RISD Digication site "Margaret Kearney, Textiles BFA '13, is currently a student at the Rhode Island School of Design.  Hailing from Iowa City, IA, she grew up amongst corn fields, open skies, and kind people.  

Both as an artist, and as a human being, Margaret is passionate not only about art, but also about climate change and social equality.  She has worked extensively outside of school in solutions-based environmental work and community organizing.  Meanwhile, much of her artistic work also reflects these passions for the world and the people who live in it.

A fragment of one of her textiles designs.... do you recognize what her "theme" was?
