SUMMARY:(The )Magic(al) (Is/of )Here: Large-Scale Paintings of Local Flowers by Maggie Stanley
DESCRIPTION:April 3-30 in the Munroe Gallery at the Concord Main Library. See library website for daily hours. \nImmerse yourself in the beauty of local flowers as we await their blooming in later spring and summer. \nMost of the paintings in this show are based on photographs taken on walks throughout Concord\, including at Great Meadows\, the Buttrick Estate\, Concord Community Gardens\, the “wisteria house” across the street from the Main Library\, and even the Keyes Road municipal parking lot. \nMany of the works were created in 2024 for Flora(l) Portals\, my solo show in the skylit atrium of the Morse Institute Library in Natick\, MA. Because the pieces were hung from balcony railings and viewed from a distance\, I used canvases ranging from 3 to 6 feet in height—hence the name of that show\, as some of the paintings are almost the size of doors. \nI’m a largely self-taught artist\, born and raised in Massachusetts\, with my childhood spent in Arlington\, Sudbury\, and then Concord\, where I now reside. Although I’ve worked in multiple mediums\, my main focus the past few years has been floral paintings on textured canvas\, which I started while in Lois Andersen’s Monday Night Painters group at The Umbrella Arts Center. I am ever-appreciative of Lois\, the camaraderie of the group\, and the variety of local trails and publicly-accessible gardens that provide such an abundance of beauty. I hope my art can convey some of that beauty to others\, no matter the season\, and encourage exploration when the conditions are right! \nwww.maggiestanley.net
