Nature, great music, high places and fire: these are among the inspirations Maggie Stiefvater (@maggie_stiefvater) draws upon in and around her home in Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. Though best known as the author of popular young adult books like the “Shiver” series, Maggie uses Instagram to showcase her talents as a visual artist. “My stories are like melodies, and writing, art and music are my instruments. Sometimes it’s obvious which instrument the tune will sound best on, but sometimes I have to try it across all three to figure it out,” she says. "I like to write and draw the same things that I like to read—the everyday world with magic and adventure slyly hidden in the corners.” For more multicolored portraits from Maggie's imagination, follow @maggie_stiefvater.
