Work Crush: Margaret KIlgallen

While sometimes it feels like I don't have many crushes on women artists, I know that that isn't true, especially since I think about the work of Margaret Kilgallen almost daily. Before she died of breast cancer in 2001, she and her husband Barry McGee (who I also have a work-crush on) drew on trains, painted mural and smaller format works, and created installations. The quality of her line work was amazing- fluid and solid while still retaining a delicate beauty. Here are a few images of her work, as well as a video from Art:21 from PBS.
