Margaret specialises in sculpting birds in their daily family activities: looking after their young, flying into the nest carrying food, protecting their eggs and being together as a family.Each piece speaks distinctly of nurturing and parental love.
This beautiful example of Margaret's work depicts a mother bird attending to her hungry chick while keeping a watchful eye out for danger.
Margaret's exceptional fibre art skills are clear in this work, which embodies the powerful expression of maternal love and dedication.
