Margaret is a Chicago born artist and a resident of San Diego since October 2009. While growing up in Chicago Margaret was the middle child of eight so she found her voice through art. She discovered her artistic talents throughout high school and continued her art education in Chicago at The Illinois Institute of Art. Here she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in interior design. After graduating she moved to San Diego and has chosen to further her artistic talents by sharing them with the people of Coronado. She enjoys doing portraits with pencil and charcoal. She also likes to experiment with other forms of art including mixed medias and mosaics. She is looking forward to exploring the new inspirations she gets every day from being on Coronado.

Sarah has both a teaching and an art background. In 2004, she earned her BA in Elementary Education with an Art emphasis. She then spent three years teaching and subbing in San Diego's public schools. After two years as a fifth grade teacher, Sarah decided she needed some artistic inspiration and traveled to Guatemala for several months. Sarah returned to San Diego determined to pursue a career as an art teacher and professional artist. Since then, she has shown her work several times and taught a variety of art classes such as Art I for high school students, mosaics and basic ceramics for elementary students, and art and spirituality workshops for adults.
