Margot Sandeman

╳

(1922-2009)

Margot Sandeman was born in Glasgow in 1922, the daughter of Archibald Sandeman, a self-taught water colourist, and Muriel Boyd, internationally known embroiderer who trained with Jessie Newbery at Glasgow School of Art. Sandeman's own time at Glasgow School of Art was cut short by the outbreak of the Second World War, but by the early 1940s she had already established a friendship which was as deep as it was lasting with painter Joan Eardley, and had formed links with another contemporary, Ian Hamilton Finlay, with whom she later collaborated both on publications from the Wild Hawthorn Press and on a series of paintings.
