She studied at Glasgow School of Art, together with the painter Joan Eardley. They were two of a small group selected for special training by the Head of Drawing & Painting Hugh Adam Crawford. Both artists flourished under his experimental fast track treatment, and became close friends, developing a deep and lasting friendship. Both lived in Bearsden and, although their styles were very different, they encouraged and supported each other, drew and painted together, and shared camping trips and family holidays. In 1941, as students, Sandeman and Eardley acquired a horse and caravan and travelled, sketched and painted around Loch Lomond. For many years, the two women regularly visited High Corrie on the Isle of Arran, renting an outhouse, "The Tabarnacle", as a studio. This exhibition features some of the delicate studies and drawings, works on paper, which she created there in preparation for her larger oils.
Margot Sandeman was born in Glasgow in 1922, the daughter of Archibald Sandeman, a self-taught water colourist, and Muriel Boyd, internationally known embroiderer who trained with Jessie Newbery at Glasgow School of Art.
