Maggie is a painter, printmaker and workshop teacher living in the South Hams area of Devon and is constantly inspired by the sea, surrounding natural landscape and her garden, especially her chickens.

We are delighted to have worked closely with Maggie in 2019 to Publish her very own Art Book, ‘Maggie Smith - Through the artist’s window’

This is a book to uplift people in moments of self doubt, loss of confidence and in times of creative blocks. Maggie shares her experiences during difficult times and includes her beautiful photographs and images of her artwork accompanied by thoughtful quotations; taking you on a journey through the seasons.
