ABBY MAGINNIS
Abby Maginnis is the curator of SandJewel Art which has grown to be a collaboration of several artists. She wanted to be able to capture the feeling of a way of life. Cowboy. She is from the heart of the Sandhills of Nebraska. Wet meadows, tall grass that waves in the breeze, tall cotton wood trees, and the huge sand hills. Abby was a 5th generation rancher on the Carr Cattle Ranch, up until May 2015 when she married Myles Maginnis, from the Pine Ridge. Together they are enjoying life, taking one day at a time. Myles started his own Mobile Mechanic Business, and Abby is expanding her Art to include Home Décor.
