About the Artist
Margaret Preston (1875–1963) was one of Australia’s most influential modernist artists, celebrated for her distinctive woodblock prints and vibrant floral still lifes. Born in Adelaide, she studied in Australia and Europe, drawing inspiration from Japanese printmaking, contemporary European art and Australian botanical subjects. A pioneering figure in Australian modernism, Preston helped establish printmaking as a significant artistic medium, and her work is represented in major national collections, including the National Gallery of Australia and National Gallery of Victoria.
