Margaret's Artist's Satement and Bio:
Tumbling underneath waves amid effervescent sea tones, my compositions are fresh and original expressions of the colors and patterns of water in motion. Captured in visual art as an unwavering hold on my spirit — with fluidity, intuition and reflective volatility.
As a successful professional artist and designer for more than two decades, I have cultivated an extensive list of devoted supporters. My work displays prominently in a wide variety of settings — from celebrity homes and corporate lobbies to commercial and hospitality sites internationally.
With an education in Fine Art and Interior Design, I have dedicated my career to the visual arts through painting, custom commissions, and designing textiles full time.
My work is represented worldwide through renowned galleries and print manufacturers. I maintain a studio in beautiful Saint Petersburg, Florida surrounded by water… where inspiration is at every turn.
