Margaret Vergara is a queer, Asian American artist and designer based in Minneapolis. Due to their several traumatic brain injuries, Margaret’s relationship with words is flaky at best, with words often sprinting away from them, so they turn to art to express their emotions. Margaret’s practice is rooted in curiosity, play, and healing, and they often find themself led by the question “what would happen if..?”. Their work has historically been painting and collage, but they are an eternal student, currently exploring ceramics, printmaking, letterpress, crochet, glass, rug-tufting, poetry, and zines. Throughout all media, their art is ultimately a celebration of color and nature.
