She studied studio arts at CSU Stanislaus and enjoyed working with a variety of mediums such as acrylic, oil and watercolor painting along with various printmaking methods. Madison also worked at the student newspaper, The Signal, leading a team of designers as they produced a monthly newspaper and eventually did a complete rebranding of the newspaper. 

After graduating with a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Stan State in 2017 Madison began to work as Assistant Curator for a local non-profit, MAH Epekel Gallery. During her time at the gallery she enjoyed being a part of promoting the talent and diversity in her community.

Currently Madison teaches at the Chartreuse Muse, a gallery and art studio in Modesto, CA, while keeping up a steady studio practice of her own. She believes that art brings beauty, vibrancy and life to the world in a way nothing else can. She would love to have a hand in bringing these same qualities to your project. 

Madison is always utilizing her creative energy whether it be painting, cooking or raising her little boy Miller!
