Maggie vandewalle
Maggie Vandewalle was born and raised in Iowa City, Iowa. She received an art scholarship to the University of Iowa in 1981, where she worked towards a BFA in printmaking under Virginia Myers. After school she turned to painting, in part due to the cost of printmaking equipment, yet also to fulfill a desire for more immediate results. “I discovered that much as I loved working with copper and etching materials, the steps involved with creating a finished piece were taking a toll on my impatient nature.”
Maggie's work ranges from highly realistic landscapes to less representational, more loosely interpreted cityscapes, but what unites her works is a deep compunction to completely fill the painted surface with patterns, texture and color. She has been the recipient of numerous awards and her work can be found in both public and private collections across the county. Most recently, her watercolor, Indulgence, won the Honoring Peggy M. Franck Award at the Tennessee Watercolor Society’s 32nd Exhibition and will be on display through June 2010. The University of Iowa's The Daily Palette will be featuring Chattanooga Bits, Vista and The Brush Pile on 6/15, 7/7/6 and 7/27 of 2010.
