Margaret Rinkovsky (born 1950 in Canton, Ohio) is an American landscape painter.[1]

Biography

Rinkovsky received her MFA in painting from UCLA in 1978.[2] She was the winner of the SECA Award from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1981.[3] She currently lives in Santa Cruz, California. According to a post on ArtSlant.com, Rinkovsky "has long found her inspiration from the art and architecture from antiquity."[4] One of her paintings, The Unswept Floor, is related to an ancient Roman mosaic of the same name.
