Season 4 Episode 12 Interview with a Famous Surrealist Photoshop Artist! Can you guess who???
Her artwork is surreal and dreamy and inspired. She utilizes antique photos and vintage finds to create portraits of people and personified animals that intrigue and delight. Her illustrated version of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll brings a classic story to new highs with artwork that add depth and layering to this timeless story. And her work has been used as in the introductory created to TV series Ghost Whisperer!
Maggie won the Santa Fe Center for Photography’s Project Competition in 2004. Her work has been widely exhibited in the United States and Europe and is represented within the permanent collections of several galleries and museums.
