Margaret Koval received her MFA from City & Guilds School of Art in London. In addition to her artistic practice, Koval has had a parallel career as a multimedia producer, documentary filmmaker, and Emmy-winning broadcast journalist.
Most pieces use oil paint on canvas or high-grade burlap, often exploiting the physical nature of these materials to create slippage between photography, painting, and needle crafts.
Informed by a news and documentary perspective, Koval's works frequently emphasize urban spaces and indeterminate narratives. Ambiguity and uncertainty are major themes.
