Artist Margo McDaid is taking productivity to another level - painting a new artwork every day for the last nine years.
The 3,285 sketches, canvases and hand-painted ceramics she has produced in that time have gained her a cult following online and now earned her a show at the Turner Contemporary in Margate.
The former Camberwell College of Arts student, who goes by the name Margo in Margate, moved to Kent over a decade ago.
She made her name - and sold a lot of her work - through Instagram where her vintage style of female portraits won her thousands of followers.
She said: “I literally live to paint –every single day of my life starts the same way, as paintbrush in hand I create work all day long. It is my joy and my passion and every single inch of my studio is completely covered with works on paper and canvas.”
She added: “I think that painting women in a fun and vibrant way has developed into a very strong but distinctive style.
“My women are strong and can be very simply illustrated paintings but somehow capture the complexity of what it means to be a woman.
“There is something very playful in drawing or painting women doing very little. They sit calmly or sometimes looking sad.”
Her work, with prices ranging from £400 to £2,500, are at the Turner Contemporary on Saturday June 24 or from Instagram @margoinmargate
