"When my painting arrived, I was delighted and moved by how Maggie captured the love I have for my dogs. Her painting made me feel even more grateful to have their companionship, as well as her friendship. And when a couple of months later, one of my dogs passed away, I was so thankful to have that beautiful painting, the memory of that afternoon and the memory of the three of us, that would live on."

“I am the lucky owner of four works of art by Maggie Parr. Each piece is unique, detailed, intimate and soulful. I feel as though they were painted just for me! Her acrylics, hand drawings and digital art explore the contrasting fierceness and beauty of nature and the human experience. Her works encompass a broad emotional range including passion, serenity, rage, and humor. I am definitely a fan!”
