72-Year-Old Atlanta Artist Experiences Career Renaissance

The Sandler Hudson Gallery

Broadcast Version

Maggie Davis creates beautiful, colorful, abstract multimedia works. Think large panels and canvases of texture and shape that seem to ask you to listen – listen to the painting, listen to yourself.

Davis has called Atlanta home for some 17 years now, but she’s mostly remained a hidden gem on the local arts scene. She came of age as an artist in Florida during the feminist movement of the 1970s. Now 72 and working out of a studio at The Goat Farm, Davis is experiencing something of a career renaissance. The Sandler Hudson Gallery has signed her on for an exhibit called “The Fourth Wall,” running Dec. 16 through Jan. 28.
