MAGGIE HUBBARD

---

Maggie Hubbard is an artist whose illustrative paintings depict artifacts of personal and collective memory. Deriving imagery from both private and public archives, their work meditates on historical, political, and cultural contexts. Hubbard’s work invites viewers to reconsider the poetics of the familiar by exploring a space where objects, history, and meaning converge.
