"I believe the enemy of the creative process is limitation. Neither tools nor rules hinder any artist from making what they envision. Art is not restricted by any single genre, medium, school or process. It is an authentic expression of the creative spirit.
"Taking cues from pop art, surrealism, and contemporary portraiture, I use traditional painting techniques with digital tools to convey complex ideas and compositions with layered imagery. My subject matter is always connected to my life, my relationships, my internal struggles, and a ongoing dialogue with my larger community.
"My source material includes vintage family pictures, historic images, original photographs, drawings, painting, collages, and prints. I am intrigued by the possibilities of mixing materials and processes to expand well beyond a single medium . My goal is to use any material to convey the visual message I am sharing with the viewer."
Margaret's Story
"I have been traveling to and through Utah for many years from my home state of Colorado. When I retired from a career as a public school art teacher I allowed myself to take my dream job: Full Time Studio Artist! My art combines skills I learned in my bachelors and masters programs in painting with a love for stitching. Each day I am grateful to be able to create and share what I do here in my community and through exhibitions which travel the globe."

I can take your vintage photographs, family pictures, or cell phone images and create a unique textile artwork to hang in your home. My process includes designing a composition from your photograph for approval, determining the size and display system (wrapped canvas, decorative bamboo rod, or hidden rod which will hang easily on the wall. Reach out! I would love to work with you.
