Margaret is a retired teacher-librarian . We call her "Fountain of Knowledge". She spends much of her time painting, travelling and researching Byzantine art in Venice, Rome and Turkey. Her interest in all things Byzantine started at school under the tuition of a wonderful art teacher, Helen Luttrell, who introduced her to the mosaics of Constantinople, Ravenna and Venice. Margaret's favourite and most inspirational mosaics are in the apses of Torcello's Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, Murano's Basilica di S.Maria e Donato, and the 9th century enthroned Mary and Child in the Hagia Sophia. In 2009 she was fortunate to visit the exhibition in Venice "Torcello 1000 Years".
