During her eighteen month recovery she rediscovered the therapeutic value of drawing. Sir Clive Fitts, a hospital doctor who was also an art collector and patron, mentioned her work to the Director of the National Gallery of Victoria and encouraged Margaret to take up botanical drawing seriously. In 1951 Margaret arrived in London to work with botanists and develop her art, working for more than fifty years as a freelance botanical illustrator for the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. She also illustrated The Endemic Flora of Tasmania, published as six vols in 1967-78, and completed The Flora of Louisiana for the Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge.
