About this Artist

“ I create these works not only because I feel I have something to say, but more often than not I find that these works turn out to be exactly what I need to see.” - Maggie Macdonald

Maggie Macdonald is an artist living and working in the Upstate of South Carolina. She creates large-scale abstract art inspired by the movement of the ocean and by the intricacies of human interaction. Her pieces, often accompanied by poetic or literary elements, share the stories of her current reality; of what it is to be human. Her signature style of vast fields of color soaked into raw canvas and linen have been shown in galleries and presented at art shows all-over the States. Maggie has been an artist since her youth and has always delighted in her own creativity, learning and cultivating her personal style through her early years and well into her twenties. Maggie graduated from Converse College with a degree in Studio Art in 2018 and has been creating, painting murals and traveling ever since. Her work is in collections around the world and has been featured by Saatchi, Arhaus, HomeGoods, Wescover to name a few. You can find Maggie working in her studio, building and stretching her own canvases to paint, or packing up her trusted van to present her work across the nation.
