MARGO HARRISON - Born in 1945 in Vancouver, Margo was raised near Ladysmith on Vancouver Island. She studied fine arts at the University of Victoria and graduated with a Bachelor of Education degree in 1967.
Margo taught Painting in the Parks classes for the Federation of Canadian Artists from 1967 to 1972. She was a teacher and art specialist in the Surrey School District for thirty-four years before retiring in 2002.
Margo began watercolour painting in 1985 and switched to working in mixed media and acrylics in 2004. To provide a challenge, and a pleasing balance, she sculpts life-size figures of sleeping cats out of clay - Comfort Cats. These three-dimensional creations have become very popular and are finding their way to homes all over the world.
Margo works in series, exploring an idea thoroughly before moving on. Her paintings focus on light, shadows, shapes and textures as she narrows the field of vision. She sees her future works celebrating sunshine, uplifting spirits, calming frayed nerves, and exploring different themes and media.
