When Margaret Worth first enrolled as a student teacher at the University of Adelaide she assumed she would become a science teacher. However she soon transferred her enrollment to art. At the South Australian School of art she came under the influence of the very forthright Dora Chapman, the designer Geoff Wilson and the painter Sid Ball, who was to become her husband.
After graduating in 1967 she both taught and established a studio practice, painting pure hard edge abstract works. When John Stringer, the exhibitions officer from the National Gallery of Victoria, visited their home when he was scouting for artists to show in The Field, he was only interested in looking at her husband’s work.
