About the Instructor:
Margaret Saylor is a working studio artist based in southeastern Pennsylvania.

Her work is held in the permanent collection at the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation at Carnegie Mellon University. She also serves as editor and designer of The Botanical Artist, the quarterly journal of the American Society of Botanical Artists.
