Margaret Ackland (born 1954, Australia) is an artist and teacher living in Sydney, Australia. Her work encompasses expressive landscapes, intimate still life works, finely detailed oil paintings of wedding dresses and other rich fabric surfaces, and in recent years a daily practice of small water colours that explore the irony, sadness and confusion of understanding the images that make up our daily news. https://www.flg.com.au/exhibition/present-tense
