Meet Margaret Lukas
Contemporary Australian artist creating expressive florals and landscapes inspired by the coast, bush, and beauty of nature.
Margaret hosts small group creative workshops.
Margaret’s Journey
Margaret Lukas is a contemporary Australian artist based in Redhead, on the shores of Lake Macquarie, NSW – Awabakal Country. A self-taught painter, she works primarily in acrylic and mixed media, exploring the harmony, texture, and emotion found in nature.
Her background in horticultural landscape design informs much of her work, inspiring botanical themes and coastal landscapes that reflect the colours and rhythms of the natural world. Margaret’s style moves fluidly between impressionistic florals and abstract interpretations of nature – each piece telling a story of connection, memory, and place.
An Authentic Practice
For Margaret, art is not just about what we see, but how we feel.
Every brushstroke is guided by a love of nature and a desire to create meaningful emotional connections. Her works invite viewers to slow down, reflect, and bring a sense of calm, joy, and love into their spaces.
She is committed to working sustainably, using low-VOC, non-toxic materials that are safe for people and the planet – ensuring her art is as authentic in its values as it is in its expression.
