BIO

Margo Tassi received her MFA from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. She has spent most of her adult life living and working in Philadelphia, PA. Tassi creates her images in oils and watercolors and also uses photos, etchings, and woodblock prints to explore her subject.

She has done plein air work at her artist residencies at the Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, Vermont; Dorland Mountain Arts Colony, Temecula, California; and The Hambidge Center, Rabun Gap, Georgia.

Since 2001 she has spent four months a year painting in the Yarmouth, Nova Scotia area. There, her proximity to the Gulf of Maine and numerous lakes allows her to focus on the edges between land and water. She is a member of the Yarmouth Art Society and has shown with the Society on a regular basis.

She has had solo shows in Georgia, California, Vermont, and Philadelphia; and has shown her work extensively in group shows in the Philadelphia, PA and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia areas. Her work is in numerous private collections.
