The accomplished paintings by Maggie Siner, are the aesthetic product of a sincere artist guided by an expressive intuition. In one sense her work is a dialogue between that which is real and fleeting, and that which is the embedded, poetical voice of the artist.
Working exclusively from life, her subjects vary from the figure, and landscape, to the most mundane of subjects. Nothing is off limits when it comes to her choice of subject. The artist states: “Let the form of the object be what it may - light, shade, and perspective will make it beautiful. Siner’s paintings are a false reality, in which the artist’s eye and talent creates a world unique unto itself. Her paintings are characterized by bold, confident strokes of color which permeate the picture plane with a lush gestural quality. A consistent element is a sense of sensuality and mystery. Siner’s paintings strike a chord within the viewer, and linger in one’s mind long after initially viewing them.
In addition to her painting, Siner is highly respected for her contribution as an instructor. She has been on the faculty ofAm L’ Institute American, the Lacoste School of Art, as well as Xiamen University in China. Along with this, she served as the Dean Of Faculty at The Washington Studio School At one point in her career, she studied medicine at the Faculte de Medicine in Marseilles, taught anatomy at Georgetown Medical School and focused on facial reconstruction to assist law enforcement in the United States. Today the artist divides her time between a studio in Virginia, and Venice, Italy
