Just a few thoughts about how I approach painting, who my paintings are for, basic info and a short bio.
Take a deep breath,
Hold it for a sec....
Now let it out.
What happens?
Your shoulders drop and you instantly relax.
That's the Key West Island Experience. You just let out your "air" and relax.
Isn't it great!
Ahhhhh........
That's what I love to paint, Key West and the atmosphere of "ahhhhhh.........."
cottages, sunsets, everything tropical, I've painted them all.
Now enough about me. What about you?
Here's the deal.
Many people who love Key West could not live their highest potential on a itsy-bitsy island. If that's you, what do you do? Well, you vacation here whenever you can or create an island get-away home here. Good for you. And when you need to relax, the island is here waiting for you.
Maybe your island get-a-way needs the finishing touches of Key West art to make it the perfect island home you so truly deserve.
Or maybe you need to take some tropical bliss to your up-north home as a reminder to relax.
In that case, some of my island inspired, ahhhhhh...... inducing art is just what you need.
You can visit me in the gallery or explore the website to find the perfect art for your island haven, wherever it is, here in Key West, or up-north somewhere.
Wishing you all beautiful island days.

About Maggie
I thought you might like to know......
I moved to Key West in 1985 after receiving my BFA from the University of Arizona. My first studio in Key West was on the corner of Thomas and Petronia Street in the Blue Heaven building where the restaurant is now. It was so small I called it "Dragonfly, a tiny art studio".
I created a body of work that incorporates the tropical motifs and colors found in Key West's island life style. The exploration of these themes continues to enthrall me. It's been awhile since I've had that studio, but I remember those days with great fondness.
I have some great stories of those early days and if we ever get to meet, I'd be glad to tell you a couple.
Currently I have a wonderful studio and gallery space in the heart of Old Town Key West on fabulous Fleming Street that I call Island Inspirations. Most days you'll find me at the easel, but Thursdays you'll find me teaching classes in the studio.
Ask me about my classes.
