Margaret Holloway

Margaret spent her childhood on a farm in Horsham where the ever present Grampians left her with a lasting love for Australian flora and fauna.

After completing a Certificate of Art at Caulfield Technical College followed by a Diploma of Art at RMIT in 1968, majoring in pottery she went on to teach pottery for six years. She has been involved in Community Arts and is the founder member of the Valley Potters. Her work is represented in the Myer Bicentennial Ceramics Collection and the Valley Potters Collection.

More recently, Margaret has embraced painting as her new form of expression and has enrolled at Jenny Phillip’s Botanical Art School of Melbourne. Margaret’s first entry in the 1999 Wildlife Artist’s Society of Australasia’s annual exhibition was highly commended and in 2000 she received the Best Native Flora Award. Her work has also been included in the Art of Botanical Illustration at the National Herbarium of Victoria and at the Geelong Regional Gallery.

In 2002, Margaret was guest artist at the Bendigo 34^th Annual Easter Arts Exhibition. In June, her painting of a white plumed honeyeater nest was acquired for the Wilson Botanic Park Collection.
