May Featured Artist - Maggie McCarthy
Fine Arts | Watercolor
Margaret M. “Maggie” McCarthy has been active in the arts since 1982, building a distinguished career as a painter and educator. She earned a BFA in Painting from the University of Oklahoma in 1995 and also holds a BA in English with education certification from the University of Missouri–St. Louis. Over the years, she has received numerous awards in juried exhibitions across several states and has been invited to serve as both a speaker and judge for art organizations in Missouri and Kansas.
​
McCarthy has played a significant leadership role in the regional art community, serving as co-director of the Art Fair at Queeny Park in Ballwin, Missouri, from 2009 to 2023. Alongside her exhibition work, she is a dedicated teacher, offering private watercolor and drawing lessons as well as workshops.
​
She is a member of the Missouri Watercolor Society, a signature member of the St. Louis Watercolor Society, and a juried member of Greater St. Louis Artists. While watercolor is her primary medium, she also works in oil and pencil. Her inspiration comes from her travels, imagination, and the evolving process of painting itself. Her work can be viewed at her home studio by appointment and online.
