Vicki Maguire’s contemporary oil paintings reflect her love affair with the vast outdoors and appreciation of the light of the moment. Her inspiration is found in the tranquil moments of all the locations in which she has lived. Living on three coasts, Maguire has found it is the color and drama of the sea that is special and speaks to her heart. After 17 years of dedicated study and working with the best in the field of impressionistic art, Maguire has joyfully expanded to an intuitive style of painting that incorporates nonrepresen- tational work using large scrap- ers, cold wax and a faith in the design when approaching the canvas. She also teaches “mod- ern” expressionism in oil, using palette knives and brushes. “My students love this class,” she says.
Her paintings hang in homes and businesses as far away as colonial Granada, Nicaragua. With a Bachelor of Arts in ad- vertising/layout and a minor in photography, Maguire continues to hone her craft full time with joy. Her work is represented in Charleston, SC; Jacksonville, FL; Philadelphia; and Dallas at Bee Street Studio. Designers welcome.
