Month of February Featured Shop













margaretsWorld -
funky art and sculpture

"My sculptures are about making a word, a phrase, a part of a song, or my thoughts into something tangible using discarded pieces of wood as well as designed elements."

Margaret has been a working artist for many years. As a Tampa, Florida native, she has studied at Hillsborough Community College, University of South Florida and Penland School of Crafts in Penland, North Carolina.

Her work has been described as whimsical wooden construction, pleasing to the eye and open to varying interpretations and is in collections in Russia, Japan, Canada, South America, and the United States.

"There are times when I will tell my story with a single sculpture and other times there will be a series of work all along the same line of thought.Lately, I find it hard to restrict myself to one medium and will often use two-dimensional material, such as canvas or water color paper to express my thoughts in a collage.


I construct my art from found, recycled or otherwise discarded things." More information about Margaret can be found on her website at http://www.margaretconte.com/.
