Margaret Dix is an Australian artist whose practice is grounded in a deep, personal connection to landscape. Working across plein air painting, oil monotype printmaking, and studio-based canvases, she explores the interplay between observation, memory, and metaphor. Her work is a meditation on place—not just as a physical setting, but as an emotional and narrative terrain shaped by lived experience.

In the field, Dix paints directly from nature, capturing the immediacy of light, atmosphere, and rhythm. These plein air studies often serve as points of departure for larger studio paintings on canvas, where memory and imagination give rise to more reflective, symbolic interpretations of landscape. Her oil monotypes, created through a richly tactile and intuitive process, further extend this exploration—each a unique expression of time, place, and gesture.

Since completing a Bachelor of Fine Art with a painting major at the National Art School, Dix has been in many group and solo exhibitions in Australia and undertaken artist residencies in Australia and Greece. She has  been a finalist in several art prizes and awards.

Dix continues to develop a distinctive and thoughtful body of work that invites viewers into quiet, layered spaces where personal histories and natural forms converge.
