Cover Artist – Visual Art Journal, August 2025
Margaret Lipsey's bold, intuitive paintings have been featured on the cover of Visual Art Journal and collected by private clients, galleries, and design professionals across North America.
Welcome
My work emerges from presence and the sensory intelligence of the body. Each painting is formed through attention to breath, instinct, and the clarity that arrives when emotion is given space to move. The surfaces carry a specific frequency shaped through layered decisions, restrained gesture, and a commitment to staying in direct relationship with the moment of creation.
The paintings feel alive and intentional. They hold a steady rhythm that invites viewers into quiet recognition, offering a place where emotional experience is met with dignity rather than analysis. Color, structure, and movement function as extensions of perception, making the internal landscape visible in a way that is grounded and accessible.
This studio is devoted to producing work that sustains resonance. The pieces are created to inhabit contemporary spaces with honesty and depth, supporting environments where clarity and presence matter. For collectors, designers, and curators, the work offers a consistent inquiry into how emotion can be held, shaped, and understood through abstract form.
You are invited to explore the current body of work, to encounter the frequencies that meet you, and to engage with a practice rooted in emotional precision and lived experience.

About My Practice
The Human Design Hotel
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, G Center, Spleen, and Root centers to life through art, creating spaces where guests can feel and experience these powerful currents in tangible ways. This first-of-its-kind project will open in November, and I look forward to sharing more as the vision unfolds. Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes insights and updates.
New Creative Experiences
now available in the studio, offering a quiet and intentional way to reconnect with presence through movement, breath, and intuitive expression. These guided sessions invite you into a space where creativity becomes a form of grounding and alignment. Whether through meditative line work, full body mark making, or intuitive stone guided drawing, each practice opens a clear pathway back to calm and inner clarity. Designed for individuals, groups, and retreats, these experiences bring together art, awareness, and embodied connection in a way that feels both modern and deeply restorative.
"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.
