About MAGGI PEACHEY

the I’m not an artist, I just like making art. That’s what I believed as I

Artist & pursued a higher education in business and worked in the healthcare
industry for over ten years. In 2018 I did a 180 and quit my full-time job
the to pursue art as a career. I was emerging and had all of 2020 planned

out but everything was canceled. This was my first major lesson in the art
Work world. Nothing goes according to plan and adapting is a must. Thanks to

my time in The Enso Circle I was able to reconnect with my inner artist
to refine what I wish to explore and how best to achieve it. Currently, I
depict personal narratives and observations to create a lasting legacy and
emotional connection. I utilize primarily painting, block printing, and 3D
figures/assemblage to express these ideas. My name is Maggi, and I am an

Artist.

Does one’s abilities for artistry come from within or is it forged over time
through nurturing, encouragement, and perseverance? This piece loosely
depicts personal memories that resulted in a revelation about one’s own
creative origins. To
capture these memories

I incorporated beloved
personal effects, fabric,
paper, acrylic paint,

color pencil, and gel
medium on wooden
plaques connected with
hinges.
