Maggie was born in Glasgow, Scotland and from an early age had a passion to draw, design and create.   Therefore, it was a natural step for her to pursue a career in the arts – and she chose interior design.  She owned her own firm in Lethbridge, AB and for two years was a part- time sessional instructor of Interior Design and Merchandising at Lethbridge College.

Maggie sold her company in Lethbridge in 2008 when she and her husband Vern, ‘retired’ to Vancouver Island. There she started painting as a hobby. They returned to Alberta in 2017 and she now paints full time in acrylics. Although she believes her art is always evolving, she describes her style as a contemporary composite of realism and impressionism.

The breathtaking surrounding natural beauty of Alberta and British Columbia as well as travels throughout the rest of Canada and abroad, provide her with inspiration. For the last 10 years she has drawn on her experience and design skills to create paintings which capture mountain landscapes, lakes and trees and brings these natural wonders into homes and galleries.

She is an Active Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and her art pieces have found homes throughout Canada, USA, United Kingdom, Ireland, Europe and Bermuda.
