Margaret Tourison Berndt

Margaret travels the globe gathering reference material for paintings of unique and interesting boats indigenous to specific areas. Experiencing the moment and depicting her personal vision has become a signature element in her work and brought her acclaim as the only fine artist allowed access by the America3 Foundation to depict the first all-women team to vie for the prestigious America’s Cup. It is that same spirit which has taken her to a small island in the San Blas region of the Caribbean, where she lived in a thatched hut among the Kuna Indians studying their watercraft. A published artist, her work hangs in many corporate, municipal, and private collections. Margaret has summered at the Jersey Shore since she was a child and currently resides in Grand Haven, Michigan. A website of her work is located at www.tillerandtide.com.
