Brief description: Maggie Vandewalle was born and raised in Iowa City, Iowa. In 1981, she received an art scholarship to the University of Iowa where she worked toward a BFA in printmaking. After college, she gravitated to watercolor-a medium she still uses today. She recalls a childhood divided between two passions-an insatiable love of reading and a profound fascination for the natural world. These early interests are the foundation for her paintings of whimsical creatures and their antics; the intent is to elicit a smile or evoke a story. Maggie resides in Chattanooga, TN with her husband and the animals who frequently are her models. To see more of her work, please visit www.maggievandewalle.com or www.etsy.com/shop/hijinxedetc.
