Margi has a great love of nature, the environment and animals, especially those found close to home in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. Margi Tucker is a native of Northwest Arkansas. After owning her own real estate business in Oklahoma for many years, she returned to Arkansas, ultimately retiring in Bella Vista. Her mother and three of her sisters are accomplished artists and she has been drawing or painting her entire life. In 2008, she attended a class in Bella Vista taught by renowned artist, Jack Hetterich, and her love of art took a new turn, pastel painting. Her dream in retirement was to paint, travel and fish with husband, Rick. Now, painting has become her obsession as she catches up for the years she was so committed to her career. Margi continues to take classes and workshops from many well known pastel artists. Margi is signature member of the Ozark Pastel Society where she has been an officer and served on the Board of Directors. In 2019 Margi was “Artist in Resident” at the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion in Little Rock where she was given her own show and did a commissioned painting for the First Lady to hang in the mansion.
