She has been creating art in Maine over the last 40 years. A series of intense dreams about her ancestors lead McGuirl to seek a narrative mode of expression. Much of her work is inspired by her Armenian family and their experience during the Armenian Genocide. McGuirl's paintings, often figurative, use color and form to convey a strong atmosphere and intensity of emotion.</p><p><i>Education</i> <br clear="none" />Kansas City Art Institute 1981-1982 <br clear="none" />Swain School of Design 1980-1981</p><p><i>Selected Solo Exhibitions and Residencies</i> <br clear="none" />2022 <i>Looking Out,</i> Gibbs Library, Washington, ME <br clear="none" />2021 <i>Old Maid,</i> Hedgerow Gallery, Tenants Harbor, ME <br clear="none" />2017 <i>Lies, Truth, and Mysteries,</i> NoRo Gallery, Rockland, ME <br clear="none" />2017 Visiting Artist: Print Studio at the University of Maine at Orono <br clear="none" />2016 <i>Handmade Art Books,</i> Thomaston Public Library, Thomaston, ME <br clear="none" />2016 Book Arts Slide Lecture, University of Southern Maine  Portland, ME <br clear="none" />2008 <i>Lineage: Portraits &amp; Dreams,</i> Gibbs Library, Washington, ME</p><p><i>Selected Group Exhibitions</i> <br clear="none" />2022 <i>Unspoken Word,</i> Blue Hill Library, Blue Hill, ME <br clear="none" />2022 <i>Word,</i> Winings Gallery, Blue Hill, ME <br clear="none" />2020 <i>Structure and Narrative,</i> Camden Public Library, Camden, ME <br clear="none" />2019 <i>Anthology: Books and Art,</i> Merryspring Arts Center, Bowdoinham, ME <br clear="none" />2018 <i>When Will We Ever Learn,</i> Yvette Torres Gallery, Rockland, ME <br clear="none" />2018 <i>Book Arts: Maine Artists,</i> Camden Public Library, Camden, ME <br clear="none" />2018 <i>People on the Move: A Human Crisis,</i> Jonathan Frost Gallery, Rockland, ME <br clear="none" />2015 <i>Handmade Artist’s Books: One of a Kind,</i> Maine Fiberarts, Topsham, ME <br clear="none" />2015 Centennial Armenian Genocide Exhibit &amp; Slideshow, Gallery Z, Providence, RI <br clear="none" />2015 Armenian Genocide 100th Anniversary Slide Show, Camden Public Library, Camden ME <br clear="none" />2015 <i>Nor Ashkhar,</i> Holocaust &amp; Human Rights Center, University of Maine at Augusta <br clear="none" />2014 <i>Three Worlds,</i> Wallwork Gallery, Rockport, ME  <br clear="none" />2013 <i>Paste &amp; Pages,</i> Harlow Gallery, Hallowell, ME <br clear="none" />2013 <i>Prints: Breaking Boundaries,</i> Lewis Gallery.
