Mainie Jellett, a first cousin who gave her art lessons from an early age, first influenced Margaret Stokes. She was a pupil

at The Royal Hibernian Academy School and she won the Purser Griffith Scholarship which she used to attend the Glasgow

School of Art and later went to the Edinburgh College of Art where she studied under Joan Hassell the well-known wood

engraver and illustrator and W. G. Gillies the distinguished Scottish painter. She returned to Dublin and taught at Alexandra

College and had private pupils.
