Margaret's lifelong participation in the Visual Arts is best described as
                             "Creative Composition"
 
Margaret has been breaking down the world around her into pieces and then
re-assembling them into a beautiful combination of fragments of color and designs with
an eye for deliberate asymmetry coupled with elegant timing.
Through her over thirty years of experience as a Visual artist, Margaret has mastered
the means to evoke mood and emotion in the viewer.
 
Margaret's photographic composites lead her to her latest fascination:  the creation
of vibrant monoprints and collagraphs with the rich natural colors only found in Oils.
Collagraphs join her love of composition with her natural gift to find the subtlety of
 color to heighten the sensibility of the viewer through the artwork.
Her natural gifts for color and composition combined with her unique insights into her
surroundings make her work one of a kind in this rapid reproduction age where
handrendered-artwork is still a sought-after medium and appreciated artform.
 
Margaret's artwork reminds us of our treasured components in our world; Nature,
spontaneity/freedom and Celebration of Life in its purest and most natural sense. 
Avid art enthusiasts describe their sense of being transported through Margaret's
artwork on a unique journey where they enjoy contemplation, delight and surprise. We
thank Margaret for this wonderful creation through her compositions so we can
experience the world that surrounds us, from this pure yet remarkable vantage point.
