The Simplicity of Line
The Simplicity of Line
"If you look at a line from the two points at either end, you can observe how straight or twisted a journey it wanders. But if you look at two points next to each other somewhere in the middle it is impossible to know how the journey began or how it will end.
We can try to lean into the simplicity of moving from one point to the next, embracing the peace of not knowing the obstacles or the ease that lies ahead. There is such calm in being fully in this moment, in this place, doing this one thing, and then clearly seeing the next step as it presents itself. The complexity of this life and its many details are simplified as we stop looking for that bird’s eye view of our lives.
The simplicity of a line is that it is merely the connection between points, without anxiety or regret, without judgement or fear. There is such beauty in realizing that we all are just moving along a line, from where we are right now towards what is next. We are always moving and although one point may feel significant it will, like all the points before it and each one that follows, soon be in the past."

About the artist
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.
