About MeMargot Sandeman was born in Glasgow in 1922, the daughter of Archibald Sandeman, a self-taught watercolourist and Muriel Boyd, who was an embroiderer who had trained with Jessie Newbery at Glasgow School of Art. Sandeman also studied at Glasgow School of Art but her time there was cut short by the outbreak of the Second World War.

She formed a deep and lasting friendship with the artist Joan Eardley and also Ian Hamilton Finlay, with whom she later collaborated both on publications for the Wild Hawthorn Press and on a series of paintings.
