Working in acrylic, oil, and mixed media, her practice focuses primarily on abstraction, with occasional explorations of portraiture, and other imaginative subjects. Her studies with the Milan Art Institute have supported the development of her approach to colour, texture, and composition.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eThrough layered surfaces and expressive mark-making, Maggie creates paintings that invite curiosity and emotional connection. Her work ranges from atmospheric abstractions to playful subjects, reflecting an interest in both depth and delight.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eAlongside her studio practice, Maggie leads paint workshops that encourage creative expression. She seeks to bring warmth, character, and visual interest to commercial and hospitality spaces, making art an engaging part of everyday life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eARTIST’S STATEMENT\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtist Statement\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eAbstraction is at the heart of my practice. I use colour, texture, and movement to explore feelings that are not always easy to put into words. Working in acrylic, oil, and mixed media, I build layered surfaces where bold gestures meet quieter passages, allowing each painting to develop through intuition and thoughtful choices.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eWhile my focus is abstract, I occasionally explore portraits, whimsical animals, and other imaginative subjects. These works offer another way to express emotion, personality, and humour while keeping my practice open to curiosity and experimentation.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eI want my paintings to invite a personal response—a moment of reflection, a spark of recognition, or an unexpected smile. In commercial spaces, I hope my work brings character and connection, offering viewers something new to discover each time they encounter it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ember-garden-1","title":"Ember Garden","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMix media on paper.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e22x30\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbstract flowers unfold in rich burgundy, burnt orange, and golden ochre, nestled among deep green and blue foliage.
