Hypotheticals

Margaret is a Montreal-based artist whose work is a vibrant exploration of colour, movement, and emotion. Originally trained as a chef, she spent 15 years in the culinary world before fully committing to her artistic practice in 2016. Painting in acrylic, she embraces both the structured and spontaneous, creating collections that evolve in response—and sometimes in opposition—to one another.

Her work is deeply intuitive, guided by the emotional energy she channels onto the canvas. Through layered textures, bold contrasts, and expressive brushwork, Margaret transforms feelings into visual compositions, allowing rage to become beautiful, sadness to provide comfort, and joy to shine untarnished. Her collections reflect this journey, from the serene, muted tones of Serenity to the dynamic tension of Borders Not Limits and the raw energy of Wild.

Beyond technique, Margaret’s practice is rooted in personal expansion. A Reiki Grand Master, she draws inspiration from the emotional awakenings of women reclaiming their voices, as well as her own journey toward self-acceptance. Her paintings invite viewers to embrace the power of their emotions, recognizing the ever-changing flow of feeling as a force of transformation.

Margaret lives and creates in Montreal, Canada, and occasionally in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
