Maggie Linn has traveled long and far before reaching and settling down in Marquette, Michigan. After having been in the Pacific-China, Singapore and India, during World War II, she returned to the United States. While living in Chicago, Maggie studied at the Chicago Art Institute and did freelance work designing textiles, wallpaper, and packaging, along with illustrating children’s books and doing artwork for ads. After Maggie’s first trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, “everything changed,” she says. She found the inspiration for many beautiful paintings and it wasn’t long before she made Marquette her home. Maggie’s many accomplishments include:
