Margaret received a BA in Art from Indiana University where she studied jewelry design and silversmithing under Alma Eikerman and Helen Shirk. More recently, she took classes at the Glassell School of Art in Houston,Texas under Sandie Zilker and Jan Harrell. Her "SILVERGLYPHS" are made by using the techniques of piercing, sawing, construction, forming, enameling and etching.
"I'm fascinated by archeology and nature and have studied the ancient cultures of Central America and the Southwest for almost twenty-five years. My work is inspired by actual images made by ancient peoples. Looking for petroglyphs and pictographs is an adventure. I'm inspired by these magical images. I feel like the ancient artists are trying to communicate with us. I try to make each piece a spiritual creation as well as an artistic one."
