A celebrated public artist and member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, Margot’s prominent sculpture “Chosen Family” has become a beacon of safety and belonging for the local community in Halifax/Kjipuktuk, and is now on display at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Their work as an artist gives voice and prominence to the community via works of accessible public art for our cities and neighbourhoods. Their proposed concept “The Lens” was recently selected as the runner-up for Canada’s 2SLGBTQIA+ National Monument Design Competition in Ottawa.
