Margaret Gradwell Contemporary Landscape Artist Margaret Gradwell was born in Pretoria, South Africa. She attended University of Pretoria and obtained a BA(Fine Arts) degree, with distinction and a post graduate Higher Education Diploma. In 1980 she was invited to join the teaching staff of the Department of Fine Arts and History of Art at the University Of Pretoria and was appointed Associate Professor of the Department of Fine Arts in 1999. Margaret Gradwell serves on several boards at the University and at other institutions. Amongst these are the Arts Advisory Committee of the University of Pretoria and the Pretoria Metro Museum Advisory Committee of City Council of Pretoria. Her first solo exhibition in 1983 was held in Pretoria and since then she has held several more in various centres across South Africa with the most recent in 2008. She accepts invitations to participate in at least four group exhibitions at prominent galleries every year. The work of Margaret Gradwell is represented in most corporate and diplomatic collections in South Africa as well as in many private collections. Her work is also represented in the art collections of tertiary institutions in South Africa such as the University of Stellenbosch in the Cape Province, UNISA (University of South Africa) Business School in Midrand, Gauteng, the Pretoria Technikon and the University of Pretoria. In addition, many art museums have her works in their collections, most prominent amongst them being the Pretoria Art Museum and, abroad, in the National Museum for Women in Art, Washington DC, in the United States of America. The largest banking consortium in South Africa, ABSA Bank, commissioned her works for their corporate headquarters in Johannesburg as well as for their branches countrywide.

The vibrant exchange of ideas with fellow artists and students is the source of much of her inspiration. This, together with the very interesting socio-political environment of a first world / third world situation in South Africa, provides for a rich visual world of inspiration. On the one hand South Africa has a vibrant first world city life with its associated values and norms and on the other it is also a rural third world country with traditional customs and beliefs. It is the natural confluence and integration of these South African elements that inspires her work. Recurrent themes in her works are the rugged and textural South African landscape and dramatic South African flora.
