Margaret Crenson is a resident of Pleasant Valley, just adjacent to Poughkeepsie. She and her husband Dick
enjoy driving up and down the Hudson Valley admiring the architecture and candor of the small towns. Her
paintings are like endearing postcards of the places she has visited, says Kathi Norklun, "They have that
instant-recognition factor… because Crenson sees just what we see,
stops at just the visual incident that would have stopped us." Crenson paints with a palette knife, wedging shapes of facades and
rooflines into smaller canvasses, applying thick slabs of paint across the skies and sides of buildings to create a picture
where even the "…mundane can be lifted to the level of the aesthetic," notes Mary Cassal. Margaret Crenson is
currently working on a series of cityscapes, still lifes, and landscapes based in and around her Pleasant Valley
home.

snapshots, life, or a combination of these.
