Her path to becoming an artist began when she was a child, in the goldsmith’s workshop of her father. It was there that Margareta Biegert-Simm encountered questions of and the handling of materials. She learned the basics of goldsmithery and later went on to study art education and art at the Munich Fine Arts Academy, Munich and, which was very meaningful to her, under Joseph Beuys.
For 40 years, she was a passionate art teacher in Munich and Weilheim and at the German School of Rome. Influenced by Beuys’ teaching, she considered her art lessons to be Social Sculpture, influencing society. In this spirit, she initiated outstanding projects with her students, with the work being recognized nationally and internationally. She also trained 101 art teachers during that time, passing on her enthusiasm and her conviction that art must be communicated.
She has devoted herself fully to her own artistic work, since 2019. In her work, the subject matter is always closely linked to the materials used – metal and paper having been her preferred materials for a long time. Having changed material again, she now focuses on woven tapestry, connected to her life-long theme of ‘water’.
