Maggie McMahon

Hi there. My name’s Maggie and I’d love to draw for you.

I'm an experienced artist and illustrator with a passion for storytelling and creativity. Raised on a boat in the tropical north waters of Queensland, my imagination has always been in overdrive. Stories inspire and excite me, and art has always been my creative conduit.

Now, as a land-bound mother and artist, I love working on art and illustrations that empower, engage, and play with the hearts and minds of my audience. While always open to new projects, I do specialize in book illustration and bringing stories to life through captivating visuals that enhance the reading experience. From whimsical characters to enchanting landscapes, I pour my imagination onto the pages, creating a visual feast for readers of all ages.

In addition to book illustration, I also have a strong passion for cover art. A book's cover is its first impression, and I thrive on designing visually stunning and evocative covers that capture the essence of the story within. Whether it's an epic fantasy or a gripping historical novel, I use my artistic skills to create captivating cover art that entices readers and sparks their curiosity.

My work spans various genres, but I am particularly fond of fantasy and history. I have a knack for creating art that appeals to a middle grade and older audiences, and aside from book and cover illustration, I offer a range of services including:

- private commissions,

- standalone art pieces,

- licensing and commercial illustration,

- live art, and

- workshops.

I am well-versed in both digital and traditional mediums, utilizing tools like Photoshop, Procreate, charcoal, pencil, soft pastels, and paints to bring my visions to life.

If you have a project in mind, whether it's a book in need of illustrations, a unique cover design, private or commercial commissions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am currently taking inquiries, and I would be thrilled to discuss your ideas with you.
