Margaret strives for accuracy as well as aesthetics when creating realistic figures of animals and humans. Originally from Northwestern Colorado ranching country, Margaret first learned she had a propensity for sculpting after she retired from working 30 years in research in the pharmaceutical industry. Margaret has taken several workshops from noted western art sculptors and patineurs.

Most sculptors do not do their own patina work, as it means having to master the chemistry involved in oxidizing metal in conjunction with carefully applied heat. Margaret learned patination through working with a master patineur in the field. She does her own patinas, often quite colorful, thus making each piece unique. Margaret’s work has appeared in many prestigious juried shows throughout the United States. She has also taught sculpting at the prestigious Western Art Academy at Schneider University, Kerrville, Texas. Art 

Margaret is also a Signature Member of the Women Artists of the West Juried Art group.
