Margot is a Florida based, New England bred calligrapher who lives in Dunedin. A studio art major, she had zero interest in becoming a commercial artist so upon graduating, she hopped aboard a 125’ traditionally-rigged schooner and sailed down to a tiny tropical island full of creativity. While living in Key West and working as an eco tour guide, Margot decided to try her hand at dip pen calligraphy in 2016. She mainly specialized in weddings, decor, and restaurant/bar menus all over the island, slowly becoming comfortable putting her other artwork out there for sale, thanks to her little calligraphy business! She began teaching hand lettering in 2018 and has taught students from age 7 to 94, both virtually and in person. When not creating, Margot enjoys strolling in local nature preserves and eating all of the foods with her husband, preschooler, and puppy Scupper, as well as curling up with a good book. Margot starts her day with dessert and loves to letter on natural and recycled objects. You can see what she’s up to on Instagram or take a class with her in the Tampa Bay area!
