All My Artworks Are

Inspired By Life

I'm Margaret Stermer-Cox and my inspiration comes from just living. I see ideas for a painting all around me. My biggest problem is selecting the right idea out of the many. I hope to continue doing just that for the rest of my life.

Abstract Acrylic

This piece is acrylic, Arms Wide Open is one of my latest pieces.

Recent Artworks

These are the most recent paintings. Sometimes everything I'm doing interferes with my ability to produce as much as I'd like. Reducing my work load, improving my time management should help in bringing a regular rotation of new paintings. But then, I've been saying that for years...

Abstract Artwork

Of all the media and styles, I favor watercolor artwork the most. But, that doesn't stop me from following other roads.

My Story

My story started back when I was around five or six, when I took interest in drawing and painting. No wonder, since I grew up in an art orientated family. That's me, on top of Grizzly Mt. in Ashland, Oregon, with Mt. Shasta (left) in California in the distant left.

About Me

I gained a lot of inspiration from the beauty of Utah. A three month stay at Bryce Canyon National Park, led to a series of drawings and paintings of the incredible Hoodoos. The background photo is Thor - a hoodoo on the Navaho Trail in Bryce Canyon in 2006.
