BIOGRAPHY
Margaret Irving

Margaret Irving was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia and was given her first camera by her mother when she was twelve. She has been taking photos and making drawings of people ever since.

She studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design for black & white photography & photo development and at Durham College for drawing, and at Toronto Image Works for computer graphics, but is mainly (and proudly) a self taught artist.

Living in the Toronto area for more than 20 years, she has enjoyed an artistic career working as a stained glass artist, photographer’s representative, photo retoucher and portrait photographer. Moving from portrait photography into painting portraits in the visually exciting Pop Art style in the fall of 2004 she has found her niche.

Exhibiting work in galleries and coffee shops has brought commissioned works and a portfolio of satisfied clients from coast to coast.
