Margot McPherson was born and raised in Montreal. Her mother was an artist and she started drawing in her mother’s studio when she was three years old.
Throughout her childhood she excelled in art and took courses in various media.

After completing two years of Art History at the American University in Paris, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design in 1984. Since then she has worked in various areas of art and design in New York, Montreal and Los Angeles.

Her work is profoundly influenced by classical antiquity and her admiration for the ancient canons of balance and beauty which reflect man’s original quest for perfection and truth in art.
