Painting since childhood she was winner of many National Painting Competitions. She decided to paint full time when her work was sought after, since then she has received numerous commissions working in Pastels, Oils & Watercolours and has paintings in many parts of the world.
Over the years she has developed a unique style in her paintings inspired by fashion and feminine beauty.
There is an emerging interest in Margaret Zita’s pastel paintings and buyers comment on their originality, quality of light, mysterious shadows and skin tones that excite the viewer.
Margaret Zita has inherited her gift of art from her Great Great Grand Father on her fathers side, who was the famous Michael Angelo Hayes R.H.A. b1820 - d1887. And his father Margarets Great Great Great Grand Father Edward Hayes R.H.A. b1797- d1864.

They were both, with others, founder members of The Society of Irish Artists
Margaret Zita was born under the sign of Virgo and is a perfectionist and this comes through in her work, she lives at the foot of the Dublin mountains where she works from her studio.
