Biography

Margaret is an Australian artist whose work bridges sculpture and painting, capturing the beauty, resilience, and fluidity of the natural world.

Known for her corten steel sculptures, she skillfully balances organic forms with intricate details, often combining metal with natural elements like stone. Her recent works include several commissioned metal sculptures for clients in Queensland, which she is currently preparing for delivery.

Margaret’s art has been showcased in exhibitions across Australia, including METAL & PAINT at Red Gallery, Essence at Gallery Unbound, Freedom Reigns, Sculpture at Acheron - Within the Land, and Bolin Bolin Gallery at Bulleen Art and Garden. Her sculpture Coral Flow was sold through the Victorian Sculptors Association at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show (MIFGS), and she has also exhibited at the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron Easter Show.

Her vibrant acrylic paintings capture the light and energy of landscapes, with recurring motifs like waterlilies symbolizing reflection and beauty. Held in private collections, Margaret’s artwork continues to evolve, with new creations emerging for exhibitions and commissions.
