Margaret Fegent has lived in the Southern Highlands for thirty years and is now based in Mittagong. She completed a Diploma in Fine Arts at Moss Vale TAFE and has exhibited in several local group exhibitions and with Southern Highlands Printmakers in Regional Galleries in Goulburn, Orange and Griffith.

While not confined to one particular subject, textures and changing light effects in the landscape are a common theme in her prints, often developed from sketches and photos taken during travels in Australia and overseas. The images of actual places are recorded in photographs; impressions are captured in sketch books with quick drawings and watercolours. These records then provide the inspiration for prints. 

Margaret has enjoyed developing her relief printing skills with reduction and multi-plate prints as well as experimenting with different effects by combining linocuts with monoprints, collagraphs and collage.
