MAGGIE ZIEGLER

As a mixed media artist and web & graphic designer, my art is a testament to the profound impact that the natural beauty of Vancouver Island has had on me since I made the move over 12 years ago. The stunning landscapes and vibrant wildlife of this paradise have served as a constant source of inspiration for me, fueling my passion for creativity and self-expression.

I have always been driven by a deep love for art, and I am grateful to be able to pursue this passion every day. My art is not limited by subject matter, and I am often drawn to creatures in nature with fins or feathers. I blend my skills as a graphic designer and artist to create unique paintings that are representational, striving for a sense of realism, with backgrounds that are abstract and unconventional. I am drawn to bright colours and layers, as they bring me immense joy and happiness.

My approach to art is one of curiosity and optimism. I embrace the unknown outcome of each piece, knowing that the creative process is an integral part of the art-making journey. I am dedicated to exploring new techniques and styles, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible. This dedication to the creative process is the driving force in my work, as I endeavour to reflect the beauty that surrounds me and the deep gratitude I feel for the opportunity to express myself through art.

In my work, I aim to capture the essence of the natural world and the emotions that it evokes in me. Whether it is the graceful movement of bird feathers or the shimmering scales of a fish, my art is a celebration of the beauty that surrounds us and the power of the creative spirit. I believe that art has the power to connect us with each other and the world around us, and I am honoured to be a part of this community of artists and creatives.
