Margaret Parsons
is an artist and arts educator living in New Orleans, LA. She makes drawings about the paradox of an ordinary yet profound bodily experience, of the body existing as a very basic, breathing, digesting system, but also the richly dense fabric of our spiritual lives. Inspired by contemporary dance and Zen Buddhist calligraphy, her work investigates the power of a single line.
