Hello and thanks for stopping by!

My name is Lia Maguire and I’m a twenty-two year old recent graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, working my hardest to pursue a lifetime of storytelling and exploring. Within the last five years in New York, I’ve worked closely alongside fellow artistic directors, actors, and writers to formulate projects of both whimsy and drama to entertain and compel. Recently I’ve moved cross country to Los Angeles where I hope to continue my work in the arts and help others do the same. I've spent my years walking as many paths as I could manage from cooking professionally to entertaining at a Museum of Ice cream in hopes of learning as much as possible through wonderful people and new complex environments.  Doing so, my priorities have coalesced through experience and I’ve recognized how important it is to operate in a way which prioritizes optimism and creation. In my limited number of years, I have been of a mind to seek out and commit myself to explorations and narratives that culminate in connection, furthered understanding, and appreciation for humanity. Most pressingly, I aspire to work on projects that couple absurdity and mundanity - that which can be fully expressed within the liminal space of a  novel, film, or Illustration. Albeit idealistic, this is my primary objective and why I love the art of storytelling so deeply.

My training at NYU took place in Playwrights Horizons Theater School and the Meisner Studio and over the years I have followed up my writing education in creative writing sessions at both NYU and UCLA. Along the way I’ve found the best stories we tell to be simultaneously formulaic and unexpected - windows into creativity and development that wonderfully insist on active comprehension. 

In my free time I’ll most probably be hiking, biking, tap dancing, and working on my novel I’m hoping to finish by the end of the summer! 

I hope all is well - 

and if you’ve made it this far -

Once again:

Thank you.
