Emerging artist Margret E. Short joins the ranks of the masters. Ms. Short utilizes a technique that allows the shadows to jump with light and gives each painting a dramatic illusionary tone that transcends time and space. A student of the prestigious teacher, David Leffel, Ms. Short melds a painterly luminosity with Dutch Master techniques to achieve a style not often seen in today's art world.

Margret E. Short has approached the New Millennium with a series of timeless art called "Etudes - a tribute to music in paint."

Ms. Short won the 1999 Grumbacher Gold Medallion and the 1998 New York Salmagundi Club Award. In May 2000 she will befeatured in the Southwest Art Magazine. Short is represented by Contemporary Southwest Art Galleries in Santa Fe, NM; Huntsman Gallery in Aspen, CO; Chasen Galleries in Richmond, VA, and Sarasota, FL; Yoshida Gallery in Troutsdale, OR; and Heritage Gallery in Scottsdale, AZ.
