Artist Statement -



Here we are, physically cemented to the earth by gravity. But – our imaginations stretch and soar, taking us beyond our planet and connecting us with far places in the universe. Being part of this, do we indeed live and bloom in a cosmic garden? Ah, perhaps so. I am exploring this connection in my new artwork.

Artist Publications



Reviews:
Dale Sparge, in his review of "Glass, A woman's Touch" at the Ariana Gallery, Royal Oak, Mi quoted Lucy Lippard: '...There are aspects of art by women that are inaccessible to men and these aspects arise from the fact that a women's political, biological, and social experience in this society is different from that of a man' "Sparge goes on to state that "Validation of Lippard's position could be seen in works such as 'Alone in the House of Dreams', a mixed media glass sculpture by Margaret Stone."

Michael Davis, with the Albuquerque Journal, in a review states that :..."Her pieces.create mercurial stories that change with the light." He goes on to say that viewers "find themselves transcending the mundane and entering a world of refracted contemplation."
