Margaret Coe

Margaret Coe (born 1941) is an American painter known for her Impressionist art works painted en plein air in Oregon.

[2][3] She is the 8th great granddaughter of Robert Coe, a New England Colonist and public official.

[1][2][9] Clarke was the curator of the University of Oregon Museum of Art for more than twenty years.

She paints plein air landscapes from observation as a base before she returns to her studio in Laurel Hill.

She was influenced by Charles Heaney and Clayton Sumner Price, both Oregon-based modernist painters.

"[14] Coe and Clarke were honored with a 6-month retrospective in 2017—2018 by the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
