Biography

Margaret Farrell Bruno lives and paints on the Massachusetts South Shore. Being a native of the area, she grew up surrounded by the splendid coastline and luscious cranberry bogs, which have inspired her pastel landscapes.

Melding the ideals of realism and impressionism, her bold pastels respond to the energy and emotion of her subject matter.
