Margot R. Lovejoy
1930-2019
Margot was born in a small town in New Brunswick, Canada on October 21, 1930. Seeking adventure and a first-class art education, Margot left college in 1949 to attend the Beaux Arts in Paris, and then the St. Martin's School of Art in London. In 1953, she married and settled in Ottawa to start a family. During these years, Margot worked as a freelance illustrator and at the National Film Board of Canada. Then in 1966 she and her family move to New York where they settled for the remainder of their lives. Having come of age in the conservative 1950's, Margot was a pioneering woman who insisted on both raising a family and having a professional career. Working out of a studio in the family basement, Margot developed a prolific body of fine art in the late 60's and 70's, while teaching at Pratt Institute and the Parsons School of Design, New York. In 1978, she joined the faculty at SUNY Purchase where she was Professor Emerita of Visual Arts. less
