Margaret Parsons

Margaret Parsons, from New Orleans, Louisiana, is a sculptor whose work centers on somatic experience. Her figurative steel line drawings are informed by her love for body-language, as expressed in dance and martial arts. Her metalworking and blacksmithing practice is also informed by the industrial shipyard environment of her home by the Mississippi River, and the vast curving lines of the river itself. She graduated from Pacific NW College of Art in 2016, and has since taught art and shown her sculptures around New Orleans, in shows such as The Lucky Art Fair, and also in public spaces such as the Lafitte Greenway.
