Hello!
My name is Maddy and I’m a watercolorist, urban sketcher, and home illustrator.
I’m inspired by the simplicity of everyday life: The way my mom reads the paper in the morning, the dappled light between the branches of the trees, strangers in coffee shops that remind me I’m not alone.
Painting has always been a way to express my love for the present. To appreciate the here and now. To feel connected to the people around me. I love to paint these small moments. It reminds me to be present, that I belong here, and I deserve to take up space. I hope my art makes you feel that way too.
Socialscapes
My recent work involves on-location drawing and painting that documents the people, community, and locations I have experienced over the past couple of years. Using a small sketchbook, rather than a camera lens, I capture the fleeting moments of life around me.
I take these sketches and transform them into larger and more complex panoramic works or as I call them: “social-scapes.”
Home Portraits
There’s no place like home. I love painting the spaces where people live their lives and build their memories. Your first home, childhood home – a home portrait is a way to celebrate this special place and makes a special and unique gift.
Commissions
Coffee shop, business, place of worship, or university, I am available to commemorate your space with an architectural painting. A custom portrait is perfect to decorate your lobby. Or, put your portrait on cards, stickers, or other merchandise.
