In May 2009 Margret was a Special Guest Speaker at the 10th Annual North Carolina Market Show at Parker Furniture, Portland, Oregon.
In 2003 Ms Short was a featured artist on the Award winning Oregon Public Broadcasting, Oregon Art Beat, three times, in 2003, again in 2006, and 2007.
In 2004 The Parker Company, based in Boston, chose Margret Short as the 2004 Featured Artistfor the Undiscovered Italy 2005 Edition.
Captivated by Rembrandt’s bling, Margret Short produced her splendid 2007 series, Lessons from the Low Countries. This project was inspired by the color palettes of eleven select paintings in the exhibit, Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art, whichtraveled to three U.S. cities in 2006/2007. Ms. Short replicated 17th century paints for her collection by hand grinding each pigment. Luscious colors, with magical names like lapis lazuli, cinnabar, malachite, and azurite, are the focus of each bountiful still life.
This entire project can be viewed at www:margretshort.typepad.com with detailed documentation including historical pigment research and images of all completed paintings. Not only are the colors reproduced, Short also quoted, quite accurately, sections of each original work in her paintings in a game of hide and seek. This nearly sold out 2009 exhibit was widely admired and has spawned a new pigment project, Lessons from the Pharaoh’s Tomb, to be presented in the fall of 2009.
