Margaret Farrell Bruno is a national award winning landscape and portrait artist who lives and paints on the South Shore. Being a native of the area, she grew up surrounded by the splendid coastline and luscious cranberry bogs, which continue to inspire her pastel and oil landscapes. She left the South Shore as a young woman to study at Pratt Institute fulfilling her BFA. She worked in and experienced the art culture of New York City for many years, but was drawn back to her South Shore roots. Along with the joys of raising her family, she continued her career and business as a Fine Artist and Illustrator.
She is a member of several art societies, including a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America, Master Circle Status International Association of Pastel Societies, Gallery Artist at Copley Society of Art, Signature Member of the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod, Oil Painters of America and the Portrait Society of America. She is a past President of the Board of Directors of the North River Arts Society.
