Margaret Kilgallen (American 1967-2001)Attributed: Untitled. Acrylic and ink on repurposed book paper unsigned unframed.

Kilgallen's work which draws on elements of folk art tramp art and mural painting has at once a cartoon-like innocence and slight ironic tang. Her subjects include hobos alcoholics carnies and surfer women (Kilgallen was an avid wave rider) portrayed in muted colors. In addition working as a book conservator at the San Francisco Public Library ­ a job she left in 1997 allowed her to study type fonts and styles and words and letters figure prominently in her art. She was also an accomplished banjo player.
