Margaret, a retired architect residing in San Luis Obispo, CA, now shares her expertise as a professor of architecture at California State Polytechnic University. Alongside her academic pursuits, she delves into photography to capture the abstract beauty of natural phenomena.

With a background and degrees in both fine arts and architecture, Margaret's website, "EARTH ABSTRACTED," showcases her unique process of digitally documenting patterns, structures, and spatial abstractions found in the natural world. Inspired by her experiences exploring the places she has visited and lived in over the last 30 years, she seeks to preserve the often-overlooked beauty of these environments.

Each photograph was taken in a time and place that can be located on a map.

Margaret's approach emphasizes the individuality of each subject, ensuring that its inherent beauty remains intact amidst abstraction. Her post-processing techniques focus on enhancing composition, texture, and color while staying true to the essence of the original image.
