Featured Artist: Maggie Stewart
Maggie Stewart has been a practicing artist for as long as she can recall; however, she insists she was not appreciated at an early age when she painted all her parents' lampshades in oil. She received a BFA in painting, taught art for 25 years in public schools (K-12), and taught in a printmaking group studio at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, VA for 20 years. Maggie and her husband moved to Punta Gorda in ’08.
Although she has limited her work to relief printing, painting, and doing some volunteering at the Center, she currently has work in 3 galleries. A day at the VAC supplies her need to see art and visit with a great variety of people.
According to Maggie, “The VAC is a perfect place to show work, participate in classes, volunteer and visit the grand gift shop. This involvement filled a void in my art world. I love to see all the different styles of art work, meet the artists and see how the staff works way beyond normal.”
