Item Description
Hand colored lithograph
14" x 16" x 1"
Margo Lemieux has been an artist since the first grade when she got into trouble with her teacher for “decorating” her workbook. After earning a degree in fine arts in painting from Boston University an MFA from UMass Dartmouth in printmaking, and an M. Ed. In integrated arts curriculum, she worked as a graphic designer, tee-shirt artist, newspaper correspondent, children’s book author and illustrator, and other interesting things. She is a professor in the art & graphic design department at Lasell College.
“Vanishing Snow Leopard,” a lithograph, is a tribute to those beautiful and endangered creatures who inhabit the mountains of China and Mongolia. They symbolize the fragility of the environment and its inhabitants everywhere. The eyes are peaceful, trusting, yet they along with the rest of the world are facing an uphill battle for survival. This imagery is a statement of Lemieux’s artistic philosophy in that beauty is in the momentary, in the fleeting, in the reflection of an ordinary situation, made extraordinary by the capture of attention and concentration – the light on a leaf, a dramatic cloud formation, and the extraordinary grace of an angled shadow on a floor – the reflection of the world in the snow leopard’s eyes. Margo strives to capture the grace of a single moment…a note of music, a fragile bubble, a beautiful flower – and hold it in place forever.
