Margaret Hyde, a Memphis Tennessee native, is an artist, philanthropist, author, and filmmaker now based in Southern California. Hyde’s work is inspired by the years she has spent living and vacationing by the water, as well as her years as a travel photographer. Her work is informed by her philosophy of mindful seeing, of being consciously open and aware of everything our eyes see and our mind processes, and “seeing into the life of things.” Hyde’s work has been featured at Art Basel Miami, as well as other important art exhibitions throughout the country. Her solo exhibition, Quiet Eye, made its world premiere at Adelante Art Gallery in New York City in 2016.
