Maggie Ramirez-Burns

Multimedia Artist

Seattle, Washington

Maggie’s work is about reawakening the senses and the need to preserve natural beauty. This self taught creator’s art is a study of what continues to compel us into a state of optimism in the face of hardship and adversity. As a child she grew up in Southern California and on the coast of Baja, Mexico. Her work is a union of her life experiences, inspirations, and the untimely death of her mother which affected her deeply. Experiencing loss at an early age naturally changed the way she viewed the world. Through creating handmade versions or reusing art from her archive are intentional in her practice, a metaphor for rebirth and renewal. Botanicals and marine vegetation guide her selections in color and theme to create a sense of flow and movement.
