Artist Statement 1956 Olympian, event organiser and photographer, Marg Woodlock-McLean, lives in a beautiful part of Southern Victoria, Australia, which serves as her muse and prime subject.

Photography, particularly coastal photography, has always been a passion. The changing face of sea and sky provide never-ending opportunities to capture a variety of moods.

Marg began to explore her fascination with photography as a child, experimenting with her father's Box Brownie camera. Athletics, however, took most of her attention during her formative years, culminating in her late teens with her becoming Australian Shot Put Champion and an Olympic athlete, competing in the 1956 Olympic Games. Once she retired from athletics in 1962, she began to travel, and re-discovered her love of photography.

With images taken from as far afield as Ireland, Canada, Egypt, the Sudan, Scotland, England and most of Europe, Marg emassed a large collection of high-quality photos, which are now being transferred from slides to paper and pixels. However, her passion for the medium of photography really took hold when she moved to Southern Victoria. After several months of taking photos of the breathtaking sunsets and seascapes around her (and many sales of those photos), she created Coastscapes - a business dedicated to capturing the beauty and majesty of the coastlines of Victoria.
