To understand Maggie Michael’s paintings, start from the bottom.

The lower third of “Heavy Tree, Funneling Heart” (2024) shows where the artist is coming from. This section features pours of paint that form glossy pools on the surface of the canvas, much like the latex paintings she first showed 20 years ago. Yet from these placid ponds, the painting funnels upward and outward, in an ecstatic shower of mixed-media abstraction, to point where she’s going.
