"A number of factors set H Margret's work apart from that of other artists. Her imagery reveals highly developed content without realism. As one collector put it, "it's painting that truly satisfies the senses." Each work shows surprising and sophisticated color combinations, richly textured surfaces and line ranging from bold to delicate. Emotional resonance is balanced with edge dispelling any sentimentality. In fact, the strong gestural quality recalls Paul Klee or Franz Kline. Heads become abstract patterns silver and black, with traces of green or red. Faces and figures float in clouded space contained by jagged lines. Lyrical yet with an underlying tautness, each image portrays an essential reality, like a person." Sara Ford, Focus Magazine, Santa Fe
