Margot is a multimedia artist with over twenty years of experience in sculpture, painting, drawing, and time-based work. Her work explores the interplay of movement, narrative, and environmental forces, often blending natural and human elements to evoke themes of transformation and tension. Margot’s practice also delves into dualities—such as home vs. landscape, and individual vs. community, employing color as an emotional language, both bright and subtle. Margot studied studio art at Wesleyan University, museology and conservation at SACI in Florence, and trained in woodcarving at the National Academy of Art in Sofia. In addition to painting, she collaborates with her husband, sculptor Tsvetomir Naydenov, in public art, kinetic sculptures, and stop motion film. She lives in Maryland with her family and many honeybees.
