Margaret L.N. Brooks (aka Maggie) is the granddaughter of the late, prolific watercolor and oil painter Laura J.A. Neese of Beloit, Wisconsin, and was highly inspired by her to develop her own artistic talent. She also loves photography. Living in St. Maarten in the northeastern Caribbean since her 20s, she paints and captures mostly Caribbean scenes, and her travels through Europe have occasioned some pieces from there as well. She focuses on landscapes and seascapes, but also dabbles in abstract art and portraits. Eight of her works won Special Recognition or Special Merit Awards in Light Space and Time Online Art Gallery’s Art Competitions held June 2015 through February 2016.
