Country Gingham Designs

Description

Country Gingham Designs is the studio home to watercolor artist Margery Mars of North Monmouth. She has lived in Maine for twenty-five years but still holds dear to heart her former home in the quaintly quiet and charming town of Yarmouth Port on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Margery is a retired early childhood and elementary educator. She began dabbling in watercolors a few years ago and uncovered an innate talent for this medium as well as for calligraphy and design.Country Gingham Designs was created in 2000 and began with floral watercolor note cards, edged in country gingham colors, unique in their presentation - in her signature kraft paper tote bags. The line has been expanded to include calligraphy and watercolor note cards as well as matted and framed reproductions of all Margery's designs.Country Gingham Designs continues the "Maine Made" tradition for quality and solid craftsmanship and has earned the right to be called "America's Best". It has been featured in Country Business magazine and Margery's work on several occasions has been displayed in the kiosk in the Maine State Office Building. In 2002 Margery was selected as one of six artisans in Maine to have her work on display in the Maine Arts Commission exhibit, Matter of Perception, sponsored by Very Special Arts of Maine, an arts-based program for people with disabilities. Margery has also exhibited at the Norway (ME) Sidewalk Art Festival, the Maine Wild Blueberry Festival in Union (ME), and the juried New England Products Trade Show in Portland (ME).
