Weekly Spotlight

Learn more about SAQA Featured Artist Maggie Dillon on the SAQA blog.

"My work reawakens a calm moment that is simultaneously ordinary and meaningful. I choose images that have photojournalistic qualities and celebrate natural, honest situations. Piecing different shades and textures together, the fabric creates an open-ended story, encouraging the viewer to imagine the subjects as if they were characters in a book."


Maggie Dillon - "Lincolnville Revisited"

Nancy Bardach - "Silk and the City"

The map is the quintessential tool for charting human progress, collective knowledge, and personal experience. Maps establish boundaries and meanings. They are a source of discovery and use a specific language. They also provide windows into the unknown.
