Maggie Booth/Sculptor/Horseshoe Bay, TX

Maggie Booth is a Native Texan, born in Austin, raised in Houston. She is a graduate of Southwest Texas University (now Texas State). 

After 40 years in Houston, Booth moved to Galveston in 1995, in order to escape city congestion, and to renovate a 100-year-old house.  It was while in Galveston that Booth began taking classes in Ceramics at Galveston College.  It was an immediate fit and Booth set up a studio in her basement.

After ten years on the island, Booth needed a change of scenery. She designed, built, decorated and moved into a house on her family ranch.  After settling in, Booth turned again to ceramics, and her new environment gave her new inspiration for her work.

Booth’s love of nature was developed over a lifetime of summers spent at her grandparents’ ranch, near Marble Falls, TX.  She has increased her knowledge of the land and its inhabitants by becoming a member of the Native Plant Society and the Highland Lakes Master Naturalists. She now lives on a part of that same ranch, re-christened the Red-Tail Ranch. 

Booth’s collection, artifacts from the ranch gathered over a lifetime, came home when she moved here full time.  A love for nature and a love for clay came together to give birth to the figures she has christened “cositas.”

The bodies are clay.  The embellishments are bones, feathers, seeds, and other things that Booth finds.  They are symbolic guardians, or talismans; spirit figures to watch over you and yours.  “They aren’t really planned, “said Booth,  “and the results often surprise me.  They are my way of honoring the land, its people and its animals.
