When Margo was only 12 she entered the Walkom-Manning Art Prize where she won the;Children of the Manning; Youth Award with;Wingham Brush.

 Margo taught herself to paint by studying books and other artists styles. Margo has developed her own style, painting many different subjects & experimenting with different techniques. Margo has experimented with different media, including watercolour & oil but prefers to work with acrylic. 

Margo is passionate about art & displaying her colourful abstract & landscape paintings. Margo's visual vocabulary has made her known for her painterly style & vibrant canvases. The energy in her works appears to be limitless & she loves creating works that you could stare at for hours. For Margo, the creative voyage along the way is equally significant as the outcome. Margo was selected as one of 10 artists for the Mattara Festival's Inaugural Outdoor Art Exhibition & her 'Look up in the Sky Tonight'; was draped over Newcastle Panthers in October 2011. 

10 buildings participated in the art trail. In 2012 Margo's T-Shirt Design, The Line Up, made the final 20 in Redbubbles SXSW T-shirt Competition for New York band The Big Sleep. Also last year Margo joined the Hunter Arts Network committee as their Social Media Guru & helps in promoting their quarterly Art Bazaars.
