Margaret Morales was born in Manila, Philippines where she grew up surrounded by nature, hence, the recurring theme of animals, flowers, and plants in her art.  At a young age, she always loved drawing, writing stories, dressing up, and creating character designs from books or anime.

The interest in art never left her, and she changed her Communications degree in college to pursue Fine Arts. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of the Philippines, Diliman with a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, Visual Communication in 2012. She worked as a Graphic and User Interface Designer for 5 years before pursuing her art full-time.

Margaret prefers watercolor as her primary medium due to its unpredictable nature, and the variety of textures it creates. Her art is known for its semi-realistic female figures in surreal settings with flowing lines and vibrant colors. The theme of her evolving art is rooted in her love of art nouveau, mythology, fantasy, natural elements, Japanese/manga art, and fashion. 

She has been featured and shared by numerous publications, popular brands, and art websites. Her works have been exhibited and sold in various galleries and collectors around the world. 

Margaret also enjoys traveling, baking, playing video games, watching movies, and listening to audiobooks. She now resides with her family in a quiet town in the USA.
