“No surprise really. The artist not only comes from a journalism background, she’s a visual artist in the bargain. Telling stories is natural to her, whatever the medium. The film Captive Head Breaks Out is based on a symbolic being called Captive Head…given that one character from her personal mythology has taken to the silver screen, one wonders if others will. H Margret, like a modern Homer, perhaps has been creating a new epic without realizing it.”    Craig Smith, Santa Fe New Mexican Pasatiempo

"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

" In her self portraits, H Margret is not concerned with capturing the likeness of her mouth, eyes, coloring and certainly not her hair....instead of the world of appearances, she refers to the invisible world- a quicksilver place of color, texture and mutable shape. H Margret's art renders the invisible visible......Margret's paintings skew the reasonable and probable for a wacky, whimsical, head on, inside out view of life." Kathleen McCloud, Santa Fe New Mexican, Pasatiempo

“It’s an astonishing journey in paint,” wrote Marion Woodman, Acclained Jungian analyst/author in a 1993 letter to H Margret. “I’m returning your slides and photos but I am keeping two and one is pinned over my desk.”
