The colorful contemporary paintings feature loose brushwork, layered red, white, and blue paint, stars, flamingos, and energetic abstract details. An easel and studio supplies surround the longtime Key West artist in her working space.
Memorial Day weekend in the studio □□ Working on a series of loose, expressive American flag paintings inspired by summer, freedom, old Florida color, and life in Key West.

​Memorial Day weekend is here and I’ll be open in the studio all weekend, including Memorial Day Monday.
I’ve been working on new paintings and the studio walls are filled with fresh color, texture, clouds, palms, cottages, and island scenes inspired by life here in Key West.
​
If you’re out walking around Old Town this weekend, stop in and say hello. Visitors are always welcome, whether you’re looking for artwork or just curious to see what’s happening in the studio.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday weekend.
Big hugs,
Maggie
