Hi there, I’m Maggie. I have been painting for 40 years with love and care and a dedication to creating something exciting! 

How I paint: My artist’s right brain conceives the idea, and my problem-solving left brain sees a puzzle to solve. How to give it a three dimensional look. Which colors should be stronger. And so on. 

My art career began with pen and ink house portraits, then extended to watercolors and acrylics. Through the years, I have enjoyed knowing artists in many towns, including Martinsville, VA, and Wilkesboro, NC, where I had leadership roles in art leagues. 

In various cities, I studied design, perspective drawing, art history, composition, color theory, watercolor and acrylic painting. I sold watercolors in galleries in Greensboro, Raleigh, and Winston Salem NC, and published prints of historic buildings in Greensboro, Blowing Rock, and Kenansville NC. I was juried into the Virginia Watercolor Society and the North Carolina Watercolor Society. I have been honored to receive awards and to be recognized in shows with groups of artists whom I admire. 

Since moving to Pensacola, my work has been selected for the Luna Fine Art Gallery's "Power of Transformation" 2024 exhibit and "Celebration of Women" 2025 exhibit and chosen to be in the "Imagine" show at the Artel Gallery, where I am a member. My art is also at the Eastern Shore Art Center in Fairhope AL. I received an award at the Quayside Art Gallery paint-out, provided house portraits for the yearly Joyce Turner awards for the North Hill Preservation Association, and was published in the October 2024 issue of the Artist Closeup online magazine. 

Thank you for being part of my art journey with your time and interest. That means a great deal to me. I love to hear feedback, so please feel free to contact me at any time with your comments and questions.
