Enjoy the work of acrylic painter Maggie Stubbs in the BGT Lobby at 1 Ward Parkway.

The abstract paintings of 31-year-old Maggie Stubbs, this quarter’s featured artist, mimic patterns found in nature. Maggie hides birds and other creatures within the sprays of color, so you can view the paintings multiple times, discovering new elements with each visit. She even includes some familiar cityscapes and landmarks to add interest.

You’ll find her acrylic paintings on canvas in the BGT lobby through the summer.
