Aka - Margo

Margee has an emerging alter-ego “Margo” who paints pure abstract, often with a bold and dramatic flair. "I think Margo's style represents the freedom of expression that's bottled up inside all of us and only a few let the Genie out to work her magic. I'm equally surprised and pleased with Margo's works. She's a whole other woman; even her brush strokes are different."

Margee attributes her degrees in Interior Design and Education as the source for the message in each of her paintings. She uses subject, color, and texture to provoke and stir the viewer to a new understanding of their own. Margee enjoys encouraging others to discover or rediscover their artistic talents. She thinks everyone should allow their alter-egos to emerge and express themselves in the medium they enjoy the most.
