Courage to Create. Interview with Artist Margot Dermody, Part 2

Tune in to this Part 2 episode of the I Like Art Podcast’s special interview with artist Margot Dermody. In this episode, we learn about how Margot uses courage to be creative. She talks about her life before becoming an artist and how she has moved forward since her traumatic life event - being a survivor of a car kidnapping (as she talks about in the Part 1 Episode/Episode 39). Margot takes us along her life journey into becoming an artist and how she seeks happiness in her life every day. We hope you love hearing this part two episode as Margot talks about moving from the darkness and into the light and living life with courage every day.

If you haven’t tuned in to Margot’s Part 1 Episode/Episode 39: “Creativity Saved My Life- A Survival Story” we hope you do so!! This episode is heavier in content but we hope that through sharing Margot’s story, it could potentially save lives.

Margot Dermody is an artist living in Pittsburgh, PA. Born in Maryland, she was exposed to art and science at a young age through her mother, an artist, and her father, a mathematician. She received a B.A. in Economics and an M.P.S. in Hotel Administration, both from Cornell University. Margot has lived and worked in San Francisco, New York, Boston, and Nashville. Growing up, she moved from Maryland to upstate New York, and lived in Rome when she was 12 years old, where she learned Italian.

Margot has been exploring and making art for more than 30 years. As a child, she had a passion for ceramics, photography, cooking, sewing, and performance arts. Primarily self-taught, she works in acrylic on canvas, wood, and paper as well as in mixed-media with photography, collage, oil, found materials, and most recently glass. Margot’s work includes elements of nature and emotion in a palette that varies from vibrant to monochromatic.
