ABOUT THE ART

It is hard to describe Maggie Lindley Designs. It could be art. It could be a dressed-up quotation. It could be just fun. One thing is for sure though: we hope it is a reminder of our souls' deepest longings.

Basically, the art is based on this idea that we are all made for perfection--that a long, long, long time ago, we were flawless. But the problem is this: our soul remembers that, and is continually disappointed by the imperfection of this present world. The incredible thing about us though, is the fact that we aren't completely daunted by the imperfection we live in. Actually, amidst fear and loneliness and hurt and sadness, we are still hoping, believing, dreaming, loving, giggling and just being.

The art (or pictures or wall-thingies) is intended to be a reminder of what we were all made for. At its best, it will make us get that good ache in our hearts--the ache that assures us that we are still alive, that we haven't turned off our sensibilities to avoid the arrows that come our way, and that we're headed for perfection. At its worst, well, it'll fill space on your wall.

Let us know what you think of all of this...the art, or just our philosophy. Our goal, while we're here, is relationship, after all.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Maggie Lindley lives just outside of Nashville in Franklin, Tennessee. Her husband, Matt, is her faithful business partner, who traded in the excitement of Washington, D.C. for a more peaceful adventure alongside Maggie. In May of 2006, Matt and Maggie added a most welcome member to the family: Win Lindley. Although Win was never a sleepy baby, they were sure that was due to his insatiable zest for life--especially when it forced them to be up and singing at 3 in the morning. Meanwhile, Norm, the cat, ferociously guards the back door, begging to come inside and unsuccessfully hunting Blue Jays.

Maggie wishes she read more, has a deep love for pie, and delights in her herb garden, especially when it appears to be growing. And most of all, she enjoys the abundance which occasionally moves through her soul.
