Chow Creative Studio, Maggie Available Art Works

Artist Statement

Maggie Chow is a visual artist and educator. A first-generation settler of Chinese heritage. She nestled two years ago in South Okanagan on traditional territories, the Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation.

Her works link to the environment's life cycle with the inspiration of nature’s leftovers. Impermanence, change and degeneration play a large part in the process of thinking and making her work. Her recent works are reflected in her paintings and the memories of her childhood, lived experiences, and traditional approaches to Chinese calligraphy. She seeks to transform calligraphy practice into a third teacher as a therapeutic experience to heal the body and mind.  She intends to capture the energy of mindfulness between the brush strokes to bring a new dimension to view from east to west, offering a new connection and contemplation.

Maggie paints in her studios in Kaleden and teaches at Penticton Art Gallery. You can view her works in person through the Matheson Art Gallery in Penticton and the New Foundry Artists Studio in Vancouver. Online presentation through Partial Art Gallery and Collecteurs.
