MARGARET
NIERADKA
Margaret Nieradka currently is majoring in painting and drawing at the
Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto working towards her BFA degree.
An artist also works for an art charity
called Discoverability where she teaches art workshops in elementary
schools.
Her education began in Vancouver, in other fields of study such as
environmental- biology and world religions with a focus on non-Western
world art. Nieradka's interest in non-Western art lead her to take further classes in the area, such as
Asian and Latin American art history. She decided to return to Art and therefore completed
a two-year Visual Arts Program at Langara College in Vancouver.
Nieradka's non-art areas of study occasionally come out in her works as
well as
love for childish imaginary narratives based on environmentalism or
abstract stories (world religion). Here is what is in her artist
statement:
"I go to great lengths to
truly create originality. I also believes that art must have brains and
beauty, so I focus both on the concept and the visual, whether it be
installation, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking or painting. I also go
about my work with a recipe of sorts. I research and then let ideas
simmer. This helps me to make work with a more organic vigour. I then
add music which helps me travel into the unknown and finally I try and
let the whole process make some sense on canvas for the rest of the
world to see".
Margaret Nieradka's art influences are Inuit Art,
Russian Constructivism, Art Brut and the art with the insulting names:
Primitive and Naïve.

"Her works are highly original, slyly whimsical, and
profound. I'm delighted to
have acquired my first Nieradka!"
