About Maggie

For the past 10 years I have painted with a baby either on my hip or in my belly. Being a mother of 5 has informed my work, enhanced my artistic voice and stretched me beyond limits I knew were possible. Raising children as a dedicated fine artist taught me to carve out time and space for artistic expression. I dig deep with each stoke of the brush because I have to. I couldn't love my lifestyle more.

Being raised as 1 of 8 children I was blessed to have extremely supportive parents who always encouraged me to follow my passion for art. However it wasn't until I was married that I recognized my art journey as being intrinsically and inseparably connected to my soul. My husband encouraged me to return to school to study... ART. How terrifying! When I sat down with a piece of charcoal in my hand that very first figure drawing class my heart expanded beyond the walls of the studio. I was where I was meant to be! After years of on and off school, many tears and 3 small children I graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Design. I've been painting and playing with my children ever since.

Life is good. I thank my God for all he has given me and blessed me with with. I cannot wait to see how he will compose the rest of my artistic journey. Join me by signing up for my email list so I can share with you each step of the way. Welcome to my family. I love you.
