Margo currently works as a full time fibre artist.  She studied art at the University of Alberta.  She holds a B.A. (Special) in English with a minor in Fine Arts (1985).  Margo taught art at the senior high level for a number of years. During this time, she continued private study with numerous local artists and attended "Series" fine arts classes at Red Deer College.  Margo began quilting in 1984, although she feels that her transition into quilting as an art form did not start until 2001.  By 2003 she received her Master’s Quilter level in Earthly Goods Diploma program. Currently she teaches colour theory and quilt design classes at Earthly Goods here in Edmonton.    

Margo’s chosen medium of expression is quilting; her works are machine-pieced and quilted using a combination of traditional quilt-making techniques.  As a contemporary quilt artist Margo creates works that are anything but traditional.   

Her pieces, designs inspired by nature, are portrayed with simplicity of form.  When interpreted into 'washes' of printed fabrics the pieces adopt beautiful complexities that appear to viewers from different perspectives.  The contrasts within the quilts create exciting movement 

Margo has studied with numerous international master quilt artists. She has been influenced greatly by quilt art pioneer, Nancy Crow whose work and approach to making fibre art has shaped Margo’s own approach to quilting.  For those familiar with Ruth McDowell’s art, her influence can also be seen in Margo’s work.  Ruth’s straight line piecing technique is the same one Margo has adapted and uses in her art quilting.

Margo’s award-winning work has appeared in many national and international juried competitions as well as in private commercial galleries locally.  Two of her works are in "500 Art Quilts", an art book series published by Lark Books in 2010.  Her work is in several private collections throughout Canada; as well, she has pieces in private collections in New Mexico and Germany.  She has a commissioned series on display in the Fort Saskatchewan Community Baptist Church.
