Marg's passion for stone carving evolved from a longstanding love of all things art and music. She has received recognition for her works in clay, textiles and other organic materials such as quill art. Her musical interests are equally diverse having performed and instructed piano, violin and guitar.

Marg's appreciation for the relationship between form, tone and rhythm is the inspiration behind her stone artistry. Guided by the uniqueness of each stone she strives to enhance the natural beauty inherent in texture and colour. Marg describes the contouring of the stone as a rhythmic collaboration between artist and medium...an intimate and reverent process of yielding, one to the other. As form emerges, so is revealed the full voice of the stone...rich and complex, compelling in it's visual and tactile seduction.

As an artist it is important to Marg that her work maintain respect for environmental integrity. Her admiration of traditional carving methods largely precludes the use of power tools, allowing her to rely on hand-held, sometimes hand-made tools. Stone shavings and dust are recycled in and around the gardens on her rural Ontario property. Although preferring to carve outdoors, Marg recently completed construction of a small working studio. StoneSong Studio is currently and likely to remain, full of stone, dust, and a multitude of textures and tones. It's gentle rhythm, a montage to the creative spirit.
