Hi! My name is Maggie and I'm the owner and artist of Miniature Inspirations. From a young age I always loved creating art in different forms that included drawing, sculpting, and more. I decided I wanted to be an artist and pursued my dream as I got older. I studied at the University of Maryland and earned a B.A. in Studio Art and a minor in Art History. 

 

I started Miniature Inspirations as a way to share my artwork with the local community around me. I want my art to inspire, impact, and help others whether it is through a sculpture of a pet portrait, an animal sculpture, or a fandom creation. I opened my business in 2013 and have been enjoying sharing my needle felt sculptures with people from all over the world!

 This portfolio highlights my artwork as a fiber sculpture artist. I challenge myself to create unique sculptures inspired by the nature, animals, fandoms, and fantasy concepts.  I utilize various wools including merino wool into my work because I love their soft and natural fiber textures. I am drawn to bright and vivid colors and add them into my art using hand dyed wools.

​

When I'm not exhibiting at an art show or convention, I teach Kindergarten through Eighth Grade students as a visual arts teacher at a private school in Maryland. I also can be found petting stray cats, eating lots of pasta, and exploring the world around me!
