    Muncie Artist’s Guild
    Various locations
    MAggie Abby Molino is our Muncie Artists Guild's Artist of the Month for December 2023.  

    Artist Statement/Bio: 
    I came to Earth loving buffalo, boots, hats and horses and howled when Mother tried to get me into dresses. Then Mother sewed me a dress with horses on the material and I had been outsmarted. There’s still a remnant of that dress in the little pink box Grandpa brought me my first sewing machine in. I love to sew. 

    That was about the same time my father showed me how to use the Kodak Instamatic. Yet another true love was born. I’ve not been without a camera since. 

    In grade school, I met the piano and the pencil. I wrote poems and drew horse farm plans, Indiana sunsets and insects. I was the 1968 Indiana State 4-H Champion of Entomology Insect Identification and won a trip to New York City and Washington DC.I was still studying piano and performing on stage when I went to Indiana University Bloomington a few years later. There I majored in Journalism and Communications and took photography classes. I loved the dark room and the film camera. 

    While pursuing journalism I got a job at Bloomington Hospital as a clinical secretary and somehow, despite dreams of a radio broadcast career, I graduated, after five and a half years of studying, with a BSN in Nursing from IU Indianapolis. Nursing allows room for variety. I’ve co-owned a custom marine canvas shop where I designed boat tops and boat covers and worked as a professional seamstress while I water-skied my heart out and raised two boys; had a 50-year career in health care working in Clinics, Emergency Rooms, Psychiatric facilities, Hospitals and Nursing Homes; went through a stack of cameras of all types; and raised a riding and driving horse along with a menagerie of goats, sheep, geese, ducks, dogs, cats and pigs. While I haven’t owned a buffalo, I do decorate my house with bison, have a collection of boots and hats and wear them regularly. I now play a keyboard and am a Google Guide with over a thousand photos on line with nearly 23,500,000 views of my pictures. 

    As I say in my Google Bio: Nurse, Writer, Poet, Musician, Artist. Forever just isn’t long enough to explore life to its fullest, but photography helps. 

    Her work will be shown at the following locations: 
    Northwest Bank (E Charles), Old National Bank (S Madison), Rosebud Coffee House, Vera Mae's Bistro, and Parlour Salon.

    “Something Every Week”
    Curator: Ben Fusco
    Artists:  Alyvia Hebner, Matt Holman, Olivia Smith, Sam Meyers, Ricardo Ayala, Finn Hannan, Katie Holland, Mary Kate Hopf, Justine Horlander, Nathan Horlander, Nicole Pokorny, Nathan Freyberger

    Over 30 weeks between January and August of 2023, 13 artists/designers committed to making something every week, intending to display it on a 9x 12 paper poster. There were no limitations to what could be made as long as it was something every week. Some participants used their posters as an opportunity to experiment with mediums, styles, and techniques, while others drew inspiration from activities and environments. The collection of posters becomes a record of experiences over the 30 weeks. The project's foundational belief is that the more that can be created and seen, the stronger the initial ideas become and the more they can grow and change.
