I’m honored to share that I’ve joined the groundbreaking Human Design Hotel project as an Activator. My role is to bring the energies of the Solar Plexus and Root centers to life through art, creating spaces where guests can feel and experience these powerful currents in tangible ways.

"Margaret Lipsey's work holds a unique emotional frequency — a language of movement and presence that resonates far beyond the canvas. In The Shape of Yes, Lipsey gives form to the power of intuitive knowing, layering gesture and color into a radiant invitation toward truth."

– Visual Art Journal, Issue 34, August 2025

Margaret Lipsey’s paintings vibrate with a kind of presence that makes you stop. There’s a push and pull in them: moments of softness brushing up against bold insistence, colour that slips between whisper and shout.

What keeps me coming back to her work is that tension; strength and fragility sharing the same space. The more time you spend with a piece, the more it unfolds, shifting the mood of the room and drawing you into its layers. These aren’t paintings that give everything away at once. They reward you for looking longer.

Welcome to my vibrant world of abstract art, where color, emotion, and movement converge to transform contemporary spaces. I am thrilled to share my passion and vision with you through this platform, dedicated to the exploration and celebration of abstract art.

My mission is to create and curate pieces that serve as a dynamic dialogue between the viewer and the artwork, igniting a spectrum of emotions and thoughts. Each creation is a testament to the power of color interaction, meticulously chosen and blended to evoke feelings that resonate on a deeply personal level. I believe that the right combination of hues can stir the soul, challenge perceptions, and inspire new ways of seeing the world.

Movement is at the core of my artistic philosophy. Through the fluidity of forms and the rhythm of lines, I strive to capture the essence of motion. My works are designed to be alive, to breathe and pulsate within the spaces they inhabit, creating an ever-evolving experience for the observer.

In contemporary settings, art should be more than a visual accessory; it should be a transformative force that enriches the environment and the lives of those within it. My goal is to provide pieces that not only complement modern aesthetics but also challenge and elevate them, turning ordinary spaces into extraordinary realms of creativity and introspection.

Join me on this journey through the abstract. Together, we will explore the boundless possibilities of color, emotion, and movement, forging connections that transcend the canvas and touch the heart. Welcome to a place where art is not just seen, but felt.
