WORKSHOPS
Maggie's workshops are designed to give the artist the tools and confidence in watercolor to develop his/her own compositions and to experiment with new techniques. Maggie specializes in individual attention and prides herself on smaller class sizes to achieve that goal. Her workshops have always been well received and many students return knowing that she always has new ideas to share.
