Maggie Mathews
After graduating from Auburn University with a Bachelorβs Degree in Studio Art and Art History, Maggie Mathews returned to her hometown of Atlanta to explore her passion as a professional artist. Taking advantage of a variety of mediums, Mathews' paintings evoke a sense of movement, connection and balance through layers of lines and color. Her paintings are abstract landscapes formed by lines weaving in and out of the picture plane capturing - as Mathews likes to put it - "a road-map to the soul." Drawing inspiration from the banks of Chattahoochee River or the beaches of St. George Island, her paintings are influenced by water and nature with subjects ranging from oyster shells and bones to aerial photography. Mathews works with designers and collectors across the country, and has been featured in numerous publications including Southern Living, Atlanta Magazine, Jezebel Magazine, The Love List, and Back Down South.
