Margaret McCann is a painter and writer whose work explores the psychological and poetic dimensions of contemporary life through still life, figure, and narrative. Rooted in classical traditions yet engaged with the present, her paintings balance rigor and imagination, often layering symbolism, humor, and cultural reflection. McCann’s writing on art has appeared in Hyperallergic and numerous exhibition catalogues, including The Figure: Painting, Drawing and Sculpture (Skira/Rizzoli). She has exhibited widely, with her work featured in solo and group shows across the U.S., and has been the subject of reviews, essays, and interviews in national publications. Alongside her studio practice, McCann is an active voice in art discourse, teaching, publishing, and contributing to the evolving conversation around painting today.
