Margaret Warfield is a graduate of Tennessee State University with a degree in Clothing and Textiles and a minor in Fine Art, Margaret expresses her love of brilliant colors and flowing fabrics by draping figures in motion with colorful acrylic paint.

As a young woman, Warfield’s paintings reflected images reminiscent of her childhood, landscapes of the Tennessee hills. As she matured, she began to explore facets of life contributing to the woman artist she would become. This included African culture, where she reconnected artistically with a heritage rich in color, fabric, and texture. Margaret has come full circle as an artist, working not only with acrylic paint on canvas, but also with fabric and clay. She has a family of dolls, “The Collective,” each with its own movement and life, from playing jacks to shopping for groceries. She forms figures and colorful masks of clay, makes a line of clothing adorned with her art, a line of jewelry made of polymer clay, and creates accessories for life from fabric and beads.
Margaret’s paintings have adorned the cover of a college textbook on the psychology of women, a poster for national Black Heritage, as the invitation and program for the annual awards banquet for N.O.W, and on the cover of a book of poetry, written by Margaret and a friend, Angela Smith, entitled “Changing, Recognizing the New You.” Her work has been exhibited at Epcot Center in Disneyworld, the Bell South Corporate Office in Atlanta, Clark University, Morehouse College, Harriet Tubman Museum, Macon, Union Station, Washington DC, Emory University, Oxford Campus, and The Martin Luther King Library, Atlanta, among others.
