About Me
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.
Magan holds a M.S. and B.S. from Towson University where she studied theatre arts and human resource development. She was honored to be the 2024 artist-in-residence at Agate Fossil Beds National Monument and a 2022 Visual Arts Fellow at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts. Her work has been seen at the Night Owl Gallery, Baltimore, MD, the Chesapeake Arts Center, Brooklyn Park, MD, Maryland Art Place, Baltimore, MD, the Circle Gallery in Annapolis, MD, the Studios of Key West, FL, the John James Audubon Center in Audubon, PA, the Annapolis Maritime Museum in Annapolis, MD, Atomic Books in Baltimore, MD, the Lemonade Stand Gallery, in Key West, FL, the Saville Gallery in Cumberland, MD, in private homes across the U.S., and on the cover of the Baltimore Review.
