About the Artist

Maderi

There is a story in every painting. Find it and make it yours.

In doing my part to be kind to the planet, I use a lot of recycled canvases.  Paintings or art in frames that people have discarded or donated.  This makes for a unique painting that often includes some of the old art incorporated into the new design.  I am never clear where a design is going until I pick out some colors and start applying the paint to the canvas.  When I apply the India ink, the story unfolds itself from the shapes and colors.

I have no formal education in the arts.  I am a citizen of the Universe and enjoy people wherever I go and however I find them.  Their stories inspire me and are reflected in my works.  I like art that makes me think.  I rarely sign the front of my pieces as I feel it is up to the individual to decide how they would like to display or orientate them.  I do sign and date the back of originals, hand numbering the limited edition prints.

I choose to use quality materials that reflect my social awareness and responsibility as a good steward of the Earth.
