MY DEAR MY DEAR MY DEAR. LOVE IS LIFE, AND LIFE IS LOVE.

Maggie McCloskey is a self-taught, multi-disciplinary artist, philosopher and Magic Maker whose work explores themes of healing, self-reclamation, and belonging. Drawing inspiration from her lived experience as a queer, neurodivergent person living with CPTSD, her work is an eternal practice of becoming, and unbecoming, spiraling ever closer to her truest expression of Self.

The use of salvaged materials as a primary source in her visual art reflects the themes of repair, reintegration, and radical reclamation. It is a conversation about the alchemical process of Self actualization.

With a passion for engaging with community and sharing her journey, Maggie hopes to inspire others in their own healing, emphasizing the importance of belonging, and radical self-acceptance. Her art is an invitation to explore what it means to live authentically and allow all parts of our Selves to be witnessed, known, and loved.

Paint my Body by the Firelight

Before you Feed me to the Wolves

So what if I were a mountain? Holding the bones of the beloved, both yours and mine.
