Specializing in portraiture, Marguerite
Quinn is a well-known and successful painter in the impressionist tradition. She brings a fresh and startling vision
to each canvas, rendering unusual composition of culturally diverse subjects. Her breadth of experience through living
abroad as well as in the southwest United States has enabled her to transform the tradition of Western portraiture by
revealing the beauty of widely different peoples. Whether portraits of refugees, socialites or AIDS patients, Quinn
captures the essence and the true beauty of her subjects.
Quinn studied at American
University and the Corcoran School of Art. Her portraits can be found in numerous private collections. Quinn was one
of the only two living artists included in "Women by Women," an exhibit featuring the work of famous painters such as
Mary Cassatt and Cecilia Beaux at the Newport Art Museum, Newport, RI, under the patronage of Mrs. Wilhemina Halladay,
president of the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
