How about a brief introduction?
Hello! My name is Maeg and I live in a small city nestled at the foot of a mountain in Western Massachusetts, USA. I live with my husband, who I married on that same mountain, our two children, and one very dirty cat named Moe.
What does going green mean to you?
For me, it means looking within my daily life for ways to make a positive impact on our environment. That can be eating food from my garden or local farms or pushing a stroller instead of driving a car. Through Edison Rex, I make donations for each print I sell to help plant trees through Trees for the Future. Art making definitely uses important resources and I am so happy to have found a small way to give back.
What projects are you currently working on?
‘Tis the time of year for my studio to turn into a little factory! I’m up before dawn these days, printing away in my studio. Beyond mass production mode, I’m quietly working on new illustration ideas, a book idea, and a new website.
What’s your favorite tool?
A pencil. And my giant Epson printer, partly because it reminds me of Darth Vader.
What 3 words would best describe you as an artist?
Learning, In Progress, Happy.
