History
Margaret Baxter began attending the Glasgow School of Art in 1906, when she was 16 and working as a Design Copyist. She attended evening classes in Drawing and Painting until 1908. Between 1908 and 1909 she attended day classes in Design, which led to her becoming a 'Decorative Designer' while she attended day classes in Drawing and Painting, and Design between 1909 and 1910. From 1910 to 1913, Margaret attended day classes in Drawing and Painting. In 1913, she attended day classes in Life Drawing, and was also awarded a £10 maintenance bursary from the Glasgow Secondary Education Committee. In the same year, she is also listed in the Prospectus as graduating from the GSA with a Diploma, and becoming an Art Mistress at St Bride's Girl's School in Helensburgh. Margaret returned to the Glasgow School of Art in 1917 to take evening classes in Life Modelling, and in 1920 she attended evening classes in Needlework. Throughout her time at the GSA, Margaret is listed as residing in North Kelvinside in Glasgow.
It is likely that she exhibited prints, drawings, and paintings at the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts between 1928 and 1961; and at the Royal Scottish Academy between 1947 and 1956. She was also related to Christina Baxter, who attended the GSA between 1915 and 1920.
