Margaret Dawson – Van Der Veen is a native of Windsor, Ontario. Her life’s journey took her across Canada, and while in the military to Europe. She met and married Don Dawson while in France. She and Don lived many places in Canada and Europe, including France and Belgium. In 1994 Don was diagnosed with cancer. They returned to Windsor, where he passed a year later. Margaret remained in Windsor and taught painting through the Department of Parks and Recreation programs. In the fall of 1996 she met Bob Van Der Veen, they married in 1999, and they took to the road in a motorhome to start a new chapter in their lives.
Art has always been her passion. With over twenty-five years of painting in watercolour, Margaret feels most at home in that medium. She also challenges herself with new subjects and media, most recently water based oils and acrylics. As an international artist Margaret exhibits in juried, group and solo shows, and has many awards for her work. Her work can be found in Private and Corporate collections in Japan, England, France, U.S.A and Canada. She owned and operated her own gallery in Port Stanley, and has travelled extensively for her art. Some of her most memorable times were spent sailing with her husband Don on Lake Ontario and in the Bay of Quinte area. Her intimate knowledge of sailing, love of the water, and sound of the wind in the sails is felt in her nautical paintings. “GAM on Yachting” magazine frequently features her work on its cover.
In the spring of 2009 she and a fellow artist founded the Windsor & Essex County Plein Air Society. Together, they arrange weekly paint outs in the area totally free of charge.
