hey, i’m margot
Artist Statement:
My paintings are an outlet for the experiences I can’t explain, capturing the wonder and magic I feel in the world. Connecting with stories is a major drive in my artwork, and I’m always looking for myself and my own story through my practice. By pulling from folklore and fairytale themes I’m able to reveal some of the mysteries of myself and ambitions of my spirit. Combining traditional portraiture and my love of illustration, I’m able to make whimsical narrative pieces that tell stories of magic and imagination.
Artist Biography:
Margot Lange is a fine art illustrator who depicts the magic of nature, the power of imagination, and the complex world of mythology.
After many years as an equestrian student athlete, her coach Katie Sikes encouraged her to pursue art as a career. Using self taught skills as a graphic novelist, she shifted focus to fine art after getting into Laguna College of Art and Design, and graduated in late 2025 with a BFA. Margot has studied under Kenny Harris, Joseph Todorovitch, John F Malta, and Ananda Fetherston at LCAD. They honed her fine art skills and fostered her love of storytelling & illustration.
In 2024 Margot produced a 26 page zine completely in watercolor and is currently showing a series of illustrative oil paintings at the LCAD Gallery, May 7th-28th, 2026.
