Artist Statement
The focus of my art is capturing the edge of light, capturing its essence in landscapes, skyscapes, and still lifes. My passion lies in the endless exploration of color and light within the realm of landscapes. I find myself irresistibly drawn to light, whether it's the interplay of highlights and shadows, the enchanting hues of dusk, or the tranquil shores.
My work delves into non-traditional color relationships, deciphering the intricate connections and disconnections between highlight and shadow.
My art is a tribute to the beauty found in the ordinary, a celebration of the fleeting joys of motherhood and the little artifacts that define our daily lives. I create snapshots of the passing moments, either from life or photos, drawn to the ever-changing light, the relentless march of time, and the charming simplicity of my life as a mother to three young girls.
Background
Maggie’s work has been shown in galleries and selected exhibitions across the Southeast, including Mobile, Birmingham, Charleston, Atlanta, Houston, and Johns Island.
