Northern Light Painting

Maggie is a contemporary landscape artist, inspired mainly by the coast and the light. She describes herself as essentially a landscape painter who likes to work in a slightly abstracted fashion while still retaining a sense of place. Her evocative paintings capture a sense of being in the landscape. Light and a sense of the fragility and transience of the natural landscape is important to her. Painting for Maggie is all about capturing the moment and recording the feeling of sitting on a beach on a stormy day, watching the waves crash, listening to the sounds around her, catching the light reflecting off the wet sands and the distant headlands. Her paintings are about the experience of being in that landscape. The art critic Bomberg once said : “Don’t paint what you see in front of you but paint what you feel around you” Maggie has a Fine Art degree from the University of Chichester and won the Cornwall Life Landscape Painter of the Year in 2016. Maggie has exhibited widely and her work is held in private collections around the world. In August 2019 Maggie undertook an artist residency in Shetland. Maggie was shortlisted for the Artist of the Year 2018 at the Mall Galleries in London and has also exhibited with the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours at the Mall.
