Pembrokeshire artist Maggie Brown, born into a farming family in the midlands, has always worked in an artistic capacity ever since achieving a BA in textile design at Winchester school of art in 1979.
Central to her work is her love of the outdoors, the natural world and nature conservation. Since she and her family’s move to Pembrokeshire in 2004, she has painted the special landscape in all its wild glory, the elements and the unique light, by using colour, surface pattern and texture, with a variety of media.
For the last ten years Maggie has been committed to enthusiastically teaching painting techniques and sense awareness of landscape, seascape painting to their guests at www.indigobrown.co.uk residential painting holidays and in doing so, has nutured, explored and developed an emotional gut response to the landscape which she feels, hopefully, has given a refreshing integrity, a gritty portayal to her work.
