copyright Maggie Hasbrouck
One of the best-collected female artists in the South and a growing force on the national stage, Maggie Hasbrouck has been living and working as an artist in Atlanta for over thirty years. She was first represented by the iconic Fay Gold Gallery, and later, The Bill Lowe Gallery (now Johnson Lowe Gallery). She began receiving major national acclaim in the early 1990s when her work was collected by celebrities including Elton John, John Mellencamp, Faith Hill, Jon Bon Jovi, and Courtney Cox. Her haunting photo-encaustic works are included in several prominent private collections, as well as a broad cross-section of collections across the United States. Her work is the epitome of the intersection of classical beauty and contemporary concept.
Hasbrouck earned her bachelors degree in Fine Art from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico and her Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Illinois at Champaign, Illinois. She has been an art and photography instructor at the Atlanta College of Art, the Southeastern Center for the Arts in Atlanta, and Illinois State University.
In her latest body of work, Hasbrouck returns to dramatic depictions of flowers – often single blooms – at the apex of their transformational beauty. The vibrancy and sensuality of these images is heightened by the artist’s recent incorporation of glass crystals into her technique. Hasbrouck melts these crystals over multiple layers of oil paint, dry pigment, and organic beeswax, resulting in a lustrous layer that enhances the mystery of the work.
