Artist Spotlight - Margaret M. Reyna

Mrs. Margaret M. Reyna has a love and passion for life.  I've seen her work for a couple of years because of the various San Antonio shows that I participated in, but it wasn't until latley that I've had the privilege of getting to know her.  She's a sweet lady and you immediatley get the sense that she's passionate about what she creates.  I believe that great art comes from within and Margaret M. Reyna confirms that belief.  Her latest work is a series of bird paintings that were inspired from vintage wallpaper.
