Artist Statement
Painting is the way I relax and escape from the hustle and bustle business world. Scheduling time to paint is tough sometimes; however there’s a sense of accomplishment even if I can put in just an hour or two of painting or creating each week.
I started painting with watercolors, which is my first love, however I’ve expanded to other mediums such as oil and acrylics. Dabbling in clay, glass and sculpture as well as designing in my garden or making something out of “found objects”. My latest medium is which I’m exploring is Encaustics. Love photography and nature and use my images as reference for my work. My first love is watercolors with my style being dry brush mostly with an emphasis on high contrast. Love to travel and capture the feeling of the country and its native environment.
Another passion of mine, which is reflected in my subject matter is birds. Love the concept of free flight and love to watch bird behavior. Many of my works have been displayed and sold at Millwood, Aldie and Oatlands and reflect this love of birds. A recent favorite of mine is of a short-eared owl from a photograph taken by naturalist Liam McGranaghan.
Recent showings include several owl paintings at the Artist in Middleburg, AIM Gallery, “The Bull Brothers” at the 2016 opening of the Tryst Gallery in Leesburg, “Man on A Park Bench” which won 3rd place for acrylics and a watercolor entitled “Four Peruvian Ladies” which sold at the 2014 Waterford FaiFeel free to contact me at maggs0127@gmail.com
