A Weather Woman


Going through a local blog recently, I found the work of a fascinating artist, Maggie Tobin. While we have never met (a condition I hope to remedy one day) we live rather close to one another. Her website http://www.maggietobin.com/prints/calm.html demonstrates a sensitivity to nature, and the effects of weather in nature that is quite distinctive. She works in a variety of media and her paintings and prints have the same etherial quality.Her tornado print "Calm Again; The Beaufort Scale Revised 10" http://www.maggietobin.com/prints/calm/10.html just blows me away. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) But my favorite thing on her website is her flipbook "Tornado by Maggie Tobin" http://www.maggietobin.com/flip.html--really cool. Take a look & tell me what you think. Should all artists make flipbooks?
