Maggie Meiners, Visual Artist & Filmmaker

Suite Escape is proud to present a virtual event on April 16, as part of our April celebration of women in art. This month, we are shining a spotlight on women in the field of art, showcasing how they make their mark with creativity, style, and a unique perspective that shapes culture and conversation.

Renowned artist Maggie Meiners will lead us through an in-depth exploration of identity, nostalgia, femininity, and transformation in her thought-provoking artwork.

During the event, Meiners will review four different works, including:

• Revisiting Norman Rockwell, a contemporary reinterpretation of Rockwell’s iconic paintings that embedded modern social and political themes into his nostalgic depictions of American life

• Act Like a Lady, a bold exploration of femininity and societal expectations, deconstructing and reimagining traditional gender norms through vibrant, subversive compositions

• I Hear with My Eyes, an intimate reflection on the artist’s experience with hearing loss, highlighting the importance of visual cues in forming connections and understanding the world

• Three-minute short film, “Little Black Dress”, which brings to the table a powerful discussion on body image and self-reflection. Through this film, she examines the societal pressures surrounding appearance and personal identity, inviting viewers to engage in a deeper conversation about self-perception and cultural expectations

This Suite Escape-hosted Zoom is part of our commitment to celebrating the voices and perspectives of women in the arts. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from the artist, engage in meaningful dialogue, and gain insight into the inspirations behind her work.
