Margaret Leisha Kilgallen (October 28, 1967 – June 26, 2001) was a San Francisco Bay Area artist. Though a contemporary artist, her work showed a strong influence from folk art. She was considered a central figure in the Bay Area Mission School art movement. ==Life and career== Kilgallen was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up nearby in Kensington, Maryland. She received a BFA in printmaking from Colorado College in 1989 and an MFA from Stanford University in 2001. Though diagnosed with breast cancer, Kilgallen opted to forgo chemotherapy so that she might carry a pregnancy to term.〔Beautiful Losers (film)〕 She died in 2001, at age 33, three weeks after the birth of Asha, her daughter with her husband and collaborator Barry McGee. Kilgallen has since been the subject of several posthumous retrospectives. Kilgallen's first major group exhibitions appeared in 1997 and included the first Bay Area Now show at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts,〔("The young at art" ) by David Bonetti, ''San Francisco Examiner'', June 18, 1997.〕〔Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. 1997.

In 2000, she and Barry McGee had a featured exhibition at the UCLA Hammer Museum.〔("Margaret Kilgallen" ), ''UCLA Hammer Museum'', 2000.〕 A number of major exhibitions took place after her death.
