Margot has been working with her business Artemis Natural Homes since moving to Boulder in the mid-90’s for her Master’s Degree in construction engineering and management. Following that time at the University of Colorado, she worked as a straw bale engineer and builder and was introduced to an artistic and soulful community of natural builders and craftsmen and women. Along the way, she has learned from many experts in energy- and resource-efficient design and has enjoyed building and consulting on projects that embody these features. Spending most of her time in nature both working and recreating, constantly surrounded by beauty and the stunning stone and landscapes in the Colorado Rockies, Margot was inspired to shift her focus to the art and trade of stone masonry in 2015. She is grateful for her good health, strong back, and the many clients so far that have given her these initial project opportunities to learn and experience this wonderful craft.
