Maggie Leiby was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Maggie works in oils, watercolor, pastel, and egg tempera.  An award winning artist, she is a member of Oil Painters of America, The Philadelphia Sketch Club, The Rockport Art Association, French Creek Art Colony, and Doylestown Art League.  Leiby's work has been displayed in various venues throughout Bucks, Chester, and Montgomery Counties, as well as in New England.  Her paintings are in collections throughout the United States and Europe.  "The beauty of the landscape has always stirred my soul.  In my paintings I try to capture the Spiritual force emanating from the land.  Like the Impressionists, I am fascinated with light and atmospheric conditions which I believe help to create a sense of mood and place."  www.maggieleiby.com
