About the Presenter: 

Margaret Jacobs, Akwesasne Mohawk, is a metalsmith known for her steel sculpture and powder-coated jewelry.

She was named as one of Art New England magazine’s 10 emerging New England artists.

Jacobs has participated in several artist residencies including at Franconia Sculpture Park in Minnesota and the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT where she received a Native American Fellowship through the Harpo Foundation.
