Born in New Ross, county Wexford, Irish artist Margaret Egan now lives and works in Monkstown, county Dublin. After qualifying as a draftswoman, she studied under Breton sculptor Yann Renard Goulet RHA from 1963-67, and then continued her education at the National College of Art in Dublin from 1967-69. She has been exhibiting her work since then, both at home and abroad. About her work Margaret says: “For me my work is a living thing, it never stops, it embraces and fascinates. I am influenced by everything; even the apparent boredom of things has a meaning. The link between people and landscape intrigues me and the endless layers that lie therein.”
