Michael & Briana: 24x36 inch acrylic live painting, completed entirely onsite at Gooseberry Beach in Newport, RI.
Fun fact, you can only get married on this beach as a Newport resident, it's a hometown affair. I just think it's so special, and adding all the family mementos for their grandparents in a location that has family history is the icing on the cake!
& I've gotten hundreds of messages about your painting this week 🤣 I hold y'all personally responsible for any sand drawings in future paintings hahahaha
Ah man, this is the best job ever.

Zack & Josh: A 24x36 inch acrylic live wedding painting finished onsite at this March.
I always tell my couples they can choose "Easter eggs" for their paintings if they want them, aka small symbols or surprises for the painting, and Zack chose to add their beloved golden Ralph to this gorgeous first dance scene. I think it was the perfect touch!
I kind of went IN painting candles and florals, I was having a blast. More fire please, I can't get enough 😍✨

I'm Maggie, and I'm a painter based in Atlanta, Ga. I studied at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and finished my painting degree at UGA's Lamar Dodd Art School. Yes, I totally took my headshots with my french bulldog puppy, Dizzy. Who passes up a puppy photoshoot???
I started painting when I was about 4 years old. My mom said she knew I had talent when I brought her a little stick figure drawing and instead of delicately asking me, "What is this supposed to be, sweetie?" She knew 100% that it was a frog. I was the stick-figure frog drawing master at only 4 years old, a title 4 year old Picasso probably never received. In your face, Picasso.
I painted obsessively throughout my childhood, initially to avoid socially awkward scenarios. I found that I could forgo large intimidating crowds and meet people one-on-one, if I simply asked to draw them. It made me intensely study the human figure, and is still my favorite practice. Drawing from life was the best gift I could have given myself, because it cured my shyness, created a catalog of human poses in my head, and it made me work faster.
I was lucky enough to have the artist Carolyn Young Hisel as a family friend, and from age 9-15 she took me under her wing and showed me what life as a working artist could be like. I spent my summers drawing and painting in a professional art studio, while other kids went to camp. She made me believe I could have a career as a painter. All my romantic notions about living as an artist come from relaxing in her english garden and trying to draw the darting koi fish in the pond.
After college by way of Chicago and Atlanta, I've finally come full circle- it mostly means I'm sitting in my pajamas and drawing elaborate interpretations of frogs, but I have also gotten to work for some pretty amazing clients. I've painted celebrities, fashion shows, weddings, magazine events and private gatherings. I've painted pets, babies, ancestors and crazy dreams. I'm here to paint, I'm your painter on call.
What's next? That's really up to you. What is your dream painting, the ideal canvas of personal art you imagine hanging in your space? What is the image you want to wake up to every morning, so you can sip your coffee, see it, and invigorate your day? What is your visual mantra of the love and hope in your life? Let's make it happen!
