Margaret Nicoll is a multidisciplinary artist whose soft sculptures and wall works explore the paradox of resilience and fragility through fiber, form, and color. Working primarily with hand-dyed fiber, pigment, and steel armature, she transforms delicate, everyday materials into monumental, tactile studies of endurance, connection, and emotional repair.

Her work examines the quiet complexity of our inner lives - maternal protection and inherited patterns, exhaustion and burnout, resilience and self-sufficiency - while reflecting universal human experiences.

During her formative years, she was deeply influenced and encouraged by Sol LeWitt, whom she had the privilege of working for as an installation assistant at The Mercy Gallery. Margaret also worked as an assistant to Art Consultant Jean Efron, who built blue chip collections for institutions in Washington, DC, before moving to San Francisco and working as an installation assistant for Sharon Virtue at The DeYoung Museum. 

Margaret earned this chapter of full artistic focus after two entrepreneurial decades spent building a creative life to sustain herself and her family. Through her marketing agency, MAKA Digital, she led strategy and creative campaigns for global brands, channeling her artistic instincts into storytelling and design. That experience shaped her enduring fascination with how form, feeling, and communication converge - a curiosity now channeled through material and gesture rather than pixels and words.

After living and working across the world, Margaret returned home to Vermont, where she lives and works surrounded by her family, dogs, chickens, and bees.
