Artist Bio
Maggie Bard is a New Orleans based visual artist working in drawing, specifically through the intricate techniques of pen and ink. She received a B.F.A in printmaking from Pratt Institute in 2010, and completed additional programs at Massachusetts College of Art and the School of the Art Institute Chicago. Her background as a principal screen printer and studio manager has equipped her with extensive experience in implementing large-scale exhibitions and installations. Her current body of work references her fascination with esoteric naturalism of the gulf south, utilizing these themes to depict a sense of liminality and fantasy within a sub-tropical landscape. This combination of large-scale project management and fine line artistry allows Maggie to bring a unique and detailed perspective to every piece she creates.
