Seeing Beauty

Seeing Beauty

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. – Confucius

"It took some time to learn how to slow down. My kids taught me the first steps when they were very little, when I had little sleep and sat in wonder of their tiny fingers and toes.  Practicing meditation gave me another step along the path as I learned that I could be quiet in my mind and see more of what was sharing the room with me. The pandemic moved me further along the way, as I had many days of nothing to do.

I walked or biked along the same streets and paths, yet there was always something new. The shadows fell in different piles, a kite caught in a tree whispered for me to look up at it waving about, or a crane landing on the river. Nature is very good at helping us to pay attention. And now I look to find beauty indoors as well, in people, in moments, and in treasures I collected and then forgot.  What a gift it is that in every moment there is something extraordinary to witness, if we slow down, if we take the time to see it."

About the artist

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.
