Folk art and patterns, history, the environment, and landscapes make up the wide breadth of Magan's work. A painter at her core, Magan is an artist of diverse interests spanning from work with natural materials, to wearable art, to digital design. 

Magan grew up in Harford County, Maryland and has been a long time resident of Baltimore City where she spent 15 years with the Children’s Museum in Baltimore as an educator, artist, manager, and director. She has since become a Master Naturalist and full-time artist/maker.  Her travels, studies as a naturalist, and love of the outdoors inform her work often. Magan currently volunteers as the site manager of the Remington Village Green

Community Garden.
