Marguerite Alder

Driftless Region, Wisconsin

Marguerite paints the same three fields behind her house in every season and every weather. She works in watercolor on cold-press paper, usually outdoors, usually before eight in the morning. Twenty-two years as a hospice nurse taught her to notice light while it is still there.
