About Maggie

A recent graduate with her BFA in illustration from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Maggie enjoys working in traditional painting methods such as oil and watercolor, as well as digital illustration using procreate, illustrator, and more. 

​

Maggie is drawn to natural subjects and the beauty and change of all living things; both humans and the environment they inhabit. She has a particular interest in women's history and issues, as well as their joys. She also enjoys creating more graphic and comic arts for books, zines, and advertising. 

​

Graduated in May 2025, Maggie is currently looking to grow both her skills and connections by getting freelance editorial and fine art gallery jobs and internships.
