Since 2009 is “The Year of Astronomy”, Margaret has started creating artwork based on photographs from the Hubble space telescope.  Using glass beads of various sizes and different beading techniques, on black velvet or velveteen, she is creating vibrant light filled images of the visual wonders of the Universe.  Margaret’s approach to life is to be open and to absorb as much as one can.
