Margaret’s work holds space where you can feel at home in the mystery and magic of the world, where you can connect with nature, animals, community. Through the stories she tells in images, she builds a structure for the wholeness we are born with—our innate bond with substance and mystery.
I love how the orange scarves of this painting flutter like prayer flags. It was a stream-of-consciousness painting, a meditation on the peace and calm of nature.
Can you hear the flags snapping in the mountain wind?

A Sierra love story, a juniper hugs a granite boulder in the high country. This watercolor painting honors the marriage of tree and stone, unlikely lovers in nature.
I visit this tree and rock frequently in the Sierra, enjoying the company of this unlikely couple. The rock has supported this tree for decades. The tree has protected the rock from the sun, allowing lichens and mosses to thrive on the shaded granite. Together, tree and rock, they form a beautiful partnership.
