Margaret Maatala has been drawing since she was a little girl, and is self-taught. Sometimes as a child she would just sit alone and draw characters from books she read, as art was always her passion.
While raising her family, she began creating special greeting cards for friends and family, eventually starting a cottage business where she would design and produce those cards, under the name Maggie M’s Original Creation.
In 2016, she started working on canvas, and developed new characters and images. She is best known for her unique and distinctive portrayal of whatever she chooses to paint, which are always full of lines, color, and imagination. Her favorite mediums are acrylics and ink, and follows her passion through the creation of art.
Margaret is one Carson City Art Gallery’s 50 local artists, and is Artist of the Month for July. Her reception will be Friday, June 30th, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., and light refreshments will be served. Margaret’s exhibit will remain up until August 2nd. Carson City Art Gallery is located at 110 S Curry St., corner of 2nd.
