Women of Strength, black and white 1

"Margaret Lipsey's work holds a unique emotional frequency — a language of movement and presence that resonates far beyond the canvas. In The Shape of Yes, Lipsey gives form to the power of intuitive knowing, layering gesture and color into a radiant invitation toward truth."

– Visual Art Journal, Issue 34, August 2025

Margaret Lipsey’s paintings vibrate with a kind of presence that makes you stop. There’s a push and pull in them: moments of softness brushing up against bold insistence, colour that slips between whisper and shout.

What keeps me coming back to her work is that tension; strength and fragility sharing the same space. The more time you spend with a piece, the more it unfolds, shifting the mood of the room and drawing you into its layers. These aren’t paintings that give everything away at once. They reward you for looking longer.
