Margo Lemieux has been involved in creative endeavor since the first grade when she got into trouble with her teacher for "decorating" her workbook. After earning a degree in fine arts in painting from Boston University, she worked as a graphic designer, tee-shirt artist, newspaper correspondent and columnist, children's book author and illustrator, kick-box instructor, and other interesting things. Her picture book Full Worm Moon was reviewed in the New York Times as "well-written." Currently she is an associate professor in the art & graphic design department at Lasell College, Newton. She has taught workshops at Lake Mead and the Blue Ridge Parkway under the sponsorship of the National Park Service, and such places as the Fuller Craft Museum, Hang Do Studio in Hanoi, Vietnam, and Rhode Island School of Design. Besides writing and illustrating books for children, she paints, creates handmade artist books, and is a printmaker who makes etchings in nearly the same traditional method as Rembrandt. She has exhibited at Art Basel Miami, The Contemporary Art Center in Hanoi, Vietnam, the Attleboro Arts Museum, and the Blanche Ames National. "Believe in Water," a poetry chapbook from Finishing Line Press, was published in 2013. Her article, "Contour meets Gesture," was published in American Artist Magazine. She holds an M.Ed. degree in Integrated Arts Curriculum from Curry College and an MFA in Printmaking from UMass Dartmouth. See less
