Maggie Flanigan is a Virginia based artist working with ideas of community, intimacy and immediacy. Being raised in a small town in the Blue Ridge Mountains has given her an insight into what it means to create artwork in a small community. Her experience in professional schools of crafts such as Penland and Arrowmont have helped to define her interests in teaching in a playful and supportive atmosphere while maintaining and cultivating an artistic community. Maggie Flanigan specializes in teaching art and photography at all levels as well as working with alternative photographic process, printmaking, and mixed media fiber arts.
