Margaret Morcom was born in Liskeard of Cornish parents, and was educated at the Headland College, Plymouth and the Plymouth School of Art. She studied music under Walter Weekes, and painting under Wycliffe Egginton RI, Jack Merriott RI and Terry Frost.
She was living at Lux Cross in 1945 when she was exhibiting with the Plymouth Society of Artists. Neither of the paintings that she entered for the second exhibition of work by members of the Society, were for sale. Later she married a farmer, James Paull who farmed 300 acres at Place Barton, St Anthony, in the Portscatho district. She documented the area surrounding her by illustrating the booklet, available on-line entitled Around St Gerrans.
She was a member of a number of societies listed below, and in 1965 won a Gold Medal at the Paris Salon. Her travels to paint have taken her around the British Isles, to Norway and Italy.
