MAGGIE TREDWELL

Having trained as a designer, Maggie Tredwell (originally from London) worked in Brighton and Worthing until 1998 when she began a painting course at Northbrook College. She graduated in 2003 with a first class BA Honours Degree in Fine Art.

In 2001 Maggie Tredwell won the student prize at the Chichester Open Art Exhibition and a year later she was shortlisted for the Churchill Society Award for Fine Art Painting.

She says "My work continues to centre on discarded and broken things and places. Some of the most recent paintings are of buildings in the process of change/disrepair. Wallpaper peels, paint chips, plaster cracks; the colours intensify and then they fade."

During the last few years Maggie has developed several arts projects for local schools and her work can be found in private collections, offices and hospitals.
