Biography
MARGARET STOKES (1915 - 1996)
Margaret Stokes was introduced to art at an early age by her cousin, the artist Mainie Jellett, who provided her with initial lessons. She went on to study at the Royal Hibernian Academy School in Dublin, where she was awarded the Purser Griffin Scholarship. This scholarship enabled her to attend the Glasgow School of Art, followed by the Edinburgh College of Art, where she studied under Joan Hassell, a noted wood engraver and illustrator, and W. G. Gillies, a respected Scottish painter. After completing her studies, Stokes returned to Dublin and began teaching at Alexa.
