Maggie_Maggio

Maggie Maggio is a designer, artist and art educator who has studied and worked with color for over forty years. Her personal explorations into the science of light and pigments led to the creation of workshops for artists and designers who want to incorporate the latest research in color science into their creative practice.

Maggie retired as an architectural designer in 2015 and now spends her time guiding artists and designers in hands-on explorations of the multi-disciplinary world of color and advocating for the integration of art and science in color education programs world-wide.

As a member of the Board of Directors of the US  Inter-Society Color Council and co-chair of the International Color Association Study Group on Color Education, Maggie focuses on bridging between the art, science and industry of color and advancing color literacy for the 21st century.

Maggie is lives in Portland, Oregon - which she considers one of the most colorful cities in the world.
