Margaret Dyer

In the June 2002 issue of The Artist's Magazine, the author wrote: "Dyer is adamant about what she wants to portray: beautiful-not overtly provocative-figures in action. She tries to avoid languid, sentimental posturing, and prefers to show her model in an unguarded moment, when she's not worrying about the 'right pose.' Dyer's attention is caught by telling gestures, such as a direct gaze or a hand on a hip… Above all, Dyer seeks to establish an atmosphere and mood particular to the developing painting."
