Folk art and patterns, history, the environment, and landscapes make up the wide breadth of Magan's work. A painter at her core, Magan is an artist of diverse interests spanning from work with natural materials, to wearable art, to digital design.
My artistic process is considered by many as postmodern. I choose a variety of materials and techniques often based on narrative association. I choose to put these materials together in collage. Using collage and multimedia techniques I capture visual memories. These can be brought to a viewer in the form of photography, drawing, painting, written word, as a collective of symbols. Most of my works incorporate imagery arranged to convey the narrative.
