About Me

C. Mary Maggitas is an acrylic self-taught part-time artist born and raised in Thomasville GA.. Mary also is a Real Estate Broker in Georgia and Florida and is married to her wonderful loving husband Scott.

Mary's love of art started when she was younger. I remember the first time art got into my soul. I was in the second grade, and a student in front of me in class drew a beautiful sketch of an animal. It fascinated me. A few years later I remember coming home from school one day and I found this drawing contest in the back of a magazine. I told my Uncle Angelo at the time I wanted to enter it, so I did. I never expected anything out of it except the challenge. I submitted the sketch to the magazine and weeks later got a call from the art school that I had won. I was so young that I had no interest in art school. I just wanted to challenge myself to draw. The winning was a token but not the true prize. Painting for me was the prize. I later took a few art classes in college and painted a few paintings here and there, although it was not until recently that I decided to pick up the paintbrush again and took several tutorials and built my skills from there and I have never stopped. Painting for me is a way of getting lost in quiet moments. Color, my travels, and nature inspire me, I have several modern-day artists that I am also inspired by.
My art is available directly through this website at CMaryMaggitas.com. I love painting bright and happy colors. I hope you enjoy my art and hope it brings you as much joy as it brings me.
