Through the works of Maggie Stein, the world appears wonderfully textured. Originally from Goulburn and now based in Sydney’s Inner West, Stein has become well known for her linocut and mixed-media practice, which she uses to represent the world around her as seen through her eyes. Working across different genres and mediums, each of Stein’s works emerges as a distinct reflection of her unique vision.

In ‘Kissing the Earth, Sandstone’, Stein creates a vibrant and evocative impression of the natural world. Existing somewhere between abstraction and figuration, the work immediately intrigues, coming alive through layers of pattern, colour and texture. Rather than simply depicting the landscape as it appears, Stein captures the world as it is experienced and felt, transforming the natural environment into a richly expressive visual language.

An artist and passionate arts educator, Stein has exhibited across Australia and has been selected as a finalist in several national print prizes, including the Gosford Prize and Fisher’s Ghost Art Prize, and the Swan Hill Print and Drawing Awards. In 2024, a variation of ‘Kissing the Earth’ received an honourable mention at the Michael Beazer Works on Paper Award at the East Gippsland Gallery. For collectors of Australian printmaking, Stein’s linocuts offer a distinctive and engaging addition to any collection.
