Margaret
Ursula Mee
Her Life:
• Born on May 22, 1909 in
England
• Family of artists and
naturalists
• Attended classes at St.
Martin's School of Art in
London
• Worked briefly as an art
teacher in Liverpool
Beginning of Her Adventure:
• 1952 Margaret and her husband Greville Mee made
a permanent move to São Paulo, Brazil
• Margaret began taking notes and painting botanical
species
• 15 expeditions – harsh environments, challenges,
obstacles
• Artwork presents deep details, accuracy and
precision
Margaret’s response to
the commercial
exploitation of the forest
was to publish a book with
her artwork and
discoveries showing the
beauty and importance
of the Amazonian forest.
She discovered the rarest of plant
species, many new to science, some
of them now extinct as a result of
deforestation. Several have been
named after her, including Aechmea
meeana E. Pereira &
Reitz,Nidularium meeanum Leme ,
Wand. & Mollo and Neoregelia
margaretaeL.B. Sm.

“Her conservationist attitude was mirrored in her illustrations, as she
began to include the natural habitat in the background of the
paintings, her hope being that by including the natural habitat, this
would emphasize the interdependency between plant and
environment”.

“By torchlight, she captured the
whole life-cycle of the scented
white flowers, from opening bud to
withered petals. It was to be her
last project, for later that year she
was killed - not in the rainforest but
in a car accident in England”
“I know my death will not be the end of my work.
Wherever I go I will try to influence those who are
destroying our planet, so the earth will have a chance
to survive” – Margaret Mee
