Artist & Writer

“I am an artist and a writer. I paint with words as an author” 

~ Margaret

Margaret Halsey is an artist and writer/author

As an artist she paints in several mediums including watercolour, acrylic, pastel, pencil and inks.

The free flowing form of her work is a unique style she has developed through years of training and experience. The translucent softness of her watercolours portrays the many moods and sensitivity of the artist.

Her animal drawings show her deep connection with all creatures, capturing the spirit and personality in each portrait.

As a writer/author she writes in her legal name and under a pen name – K. M. Rachel. Books are published by Karmen Rachel Publishing a division of Halsey Management Limited

How to order my books 

Deception Among Friends was the author’s first book. She was inspired to write it by a feeling she had of being followed. The book came together for her easily leading itself to its end. 

Two Voices is about obsession, love, lust; the wonderful and the devastating parts of a relationship. It is also a look at paths taken, and an attempt to understand those paths we choose in life. Any woman or man who has been on such paths will find this a comfort, and help in a difficult time.
