Margaret Borthwick Artist
Art in Landscape and Nature
Margaret Borthwick is a contemporary artist, based in Renfrewshire, Scotland.
Margaret's main love is the landscape and the patterns that are found in nature, especially in the woodlands and wetlands of her local area.
Margaret was a General Practitioner in Renfrewshire for 37 years and rediscovered her love of art when she semi-retired from medicine. She took a degree course in Painting when retired, obtaining her honours degree in 2023. She continues to paint and exhibit as artist.
She is an artist member of both the Glasgow Society of Women Artists and of the Paisley Art Institute.
Margaret was amazed and so pleased to have her artwork ‘The Pool at Calgary, Mull’ chosen as one of the Final 50 for the British Art Prize 2025. This is a prestigious group of shortlisted works chosen from thousands of entries. Out of a record 2,900 entries, 50 works by 50 artists were shortlisted for this major international competition. The British Art Prize provides artists with the possibility to sell their creations to a combined audience of around one million art enthusiasts and collectors, as well as national exposure in Artists & Illustrators.
The shortlist was selected by a panel of leading art world figures, including President of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and BBC presenter Adebanje Alade, watercolour master Alvaro Castagnet, editor of Artists & Illustrators Niki Browes, National Trust Curator and art historian Dr Amy Orrock and co-founder of Panter and Hall gallery Tiffany Hall.
The exhibition will be held on 26th - 30th November 2025, 11am to 6 pm at the OXO Gallery, Oxo Tower Wharf, Barge House St, London SE1 9PH
