Maggie began rug hooking in 1991 while involved in the restoration of an historic building in Sydney, when she decided that the stairs to the structure required a traditional covering. Locating a source of instruction, she undertook to learn the art of rug hooking, little suspecting that it would lead to a long-term relationship with this process.
Maggie is a member of the Rug Hooking Society of Nova Scotia, through which she attends annual technique seminars. Her work has been juried and exhibited at the Cape Breton Centre for Craft and Design in Sydney and at the Mary Black Gallery in Halifax, and she teaches at the Cape Breton Center for Craft and Design.
