Margot Roi
Whispers of Spring
24” x 24”
Acrylic on Canvas
$700
Canadian contemporary abstract artist Margot Roi is based in Muskoka, Ontario, and has a career spanning over 35 years. Her work is a vibrant intersection of fine art and textile design, characterized by an intuitive exploration of “memory of place” through colour, form and texture.
“I aim to establish emotional bridges, each one a reference to the places I’ve travelled, recalled settings, or the forms in nature I’ve found unique. I paint energetically to capture memories that form the essence of my sense of identity. Acrylic paint and stick media become the narrative for my almost chaotic compositions that become guideposts for my colour choices. I view my canvas as a container for these intrinsic experiences. I’m inviting the viewer to wander around my responsive recollections to make connections to their own joyous memory, moment, or place.”
Margot Roi has been exhibiting her artwork in galleries, art fairs, the annual OOAK in Toronto, Toronto Artist Project and Riverdale Artwalk.
She holds an Arts/Technology degree from Sheridan College, University of Windsor Honours Bachelor of Fine Arts and a BEd from Nipissing University. Margot has received numerous provincial and regional awards for her work as an educator and visual artist.
