A graduate of Glasgow School of Art in 1991, Margaretann has won many awards, notably the Armour Award at the Royal Glasgow Institute and most recently the Inverarity One to One Travel Award at the Royal Glasgow Institute. Her paintings are held in the public collections of St. Andrews Hospital, Fife and Princess Margaret Rose Hospital, Edinburgh.

With her unique skill, grounding and diverse visual vocabulary, Margaretann is well known for her profound and evocative figures and intimate still life paintings. Winning numerous prestigious awards and the distinction of RSW, she has constantly pushed the boundaries of her work, resulting in a progressive transformation toward a darker imagery and narrative.
