Margaret's journey as an artist is evident in her lifelong passion.

 

From her early days in pottery classes, where she discovered a new lens through which to view the world, to her teenage years, when she prioritized buying a film camera, her love for art has only grown. She continues to explore mixed media painting, oil painting, botanic illustration, monotype printmaking, and plein-air painting, all fueled by her curiosity about art. Margaret's art reflects her deep-rooted connection with nature and color. This connection with the natural world and her interest in color and various mediums continues to drive her art. Margaret also studied botanic illustration at the Denver Botanic Gardens School of Art and Illustration for five years. The illustration training came after she spent ten years focused on macro flower photography. Margaret's artistic journey is a collection of notable achievements and fruitful collaborations. Her abstract work circles back around amidst all the other work, pushing boundaries with spontaneity and color. She has focused on honing her printmaking skills over the past five years, incorporating block printing into everything she has learned about art over a lifetime of interest. She is embarking on a new journey to spark joy in her artistic practice and to further her growth and evolution as an artist.
