Artist, art therapist, teacher, writer, mother, and grandmother, she is an accomplished and talented painter. She has participated in juried and invitational shows in the northwest and is a signature member of the Northwest Pastel Society.
Educated at Cheltenham Ladies College, she trained as a nurse in London. In 1959 she traveled to the United States where she met her first husband. After raising four children, she combined her nursing and art backgrounds and became an art therapist, a fulfilling career she has practiced throughout her life. Margaret led an art therapy support group at the University of Washington Cancer Center for sixteen years. She has worked as an art therapist in the community at large for the past forty years, and currently leads a group in Visual Journaling at her local Senior Center.
Believing that art facilitates healing both through self-expression, and as a key to the door of the unconscious mind, she first published “The Art of the Inner Journey” in 2011,now in full color in 2024, and her memoirs, “Invisible Threads,” which includes samples of her art, in 2022.
Margaret moved from Seattle with her husband in 2003 and continued her art and art therapy in Skagit Valley. Now widowed, she continues to enjoy life in La Conner, Washington, her “happy place.”
