Most Junior League of Washington may have seen
the artwork in the Loughborough Room and wondered about the story behind
the works and the artist who created them. The artist is Margaret Alagia-Ingram,
one of our own! She is a Sustainer with the JLW.
A native of Louisville, Kentucky she was encouraged from a young
age to pursue art. She studied design and marketing at the University of Dayton
and went on to become an art director in advertising for both print and
television. Margaret resumed her love of painting and her strong sense of
design and color are evident in her six oils now on display at JLW
Headquarters.
Her artwork has been on display throughout the region, including
at the Mansions in May Design Show House (Morris Township, NJ), the Yellow Barn
(Glen Echo, MD), and the WC & AN Miller Company (Bethesda, MD).
For our JLW members and guests, we invite you to enjoy the
collection at your next JLW Headquarters event. The six oils that comprise the
collection displayed in the Loughborough Room are listed below (left to right):
