Maggie Vandewalle was born and raised just outside of Iowa City, Iowa, in a rural setting.
She received an art scholarship to the University of Iowa, where she worked towards a BFA in printmaking.
After several years she took a break from college to explore life, determined that art most definitely would in the form of drawing.
Vandewalle’s drawings are whimsical and precise, showing a wonderful talent for detail.
She is a master of watercolor whimsy whose paintings transport us to a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and the impossible seems just within reach.
Vandewalle’s clever composition transforms our interpretation from aesthetic appreciation to ecological observation, reminding us with a wink that beauty in nature often serves a practical purpose.

These paintings to me represent the way life should be. That’s not an airy flaky thought — its the way most of the world thinks. Just not everythone. So her paintings fill the gap.
