About the speaker

Madison (Mad.E) is a local artist whose expressive, large-scale paintings reflect her deep connection to nature, culture, and community. Inspired by extensive world travels and volunteer work, her distinctive style integrates vibrant compositions, textures, and gestures using palette knives and mixed media, hinting at landscapes explored, cultural connections, and the intricate complexities of life.

Currently based in West Palm Beach, Mad.E moved to the area from Asheville, North Carolina, to be near her beloved grandfather, whom she considers her 'why' and driving inspiration. Since relocating, Madison has found a sanctuary at Northwood Art and Music Warehouse, a very cool, multi-use space where December’s CreativeMornings Palm Beach will be held.

Mad.E’s current initiative, titled "The Expedition," invites public participation in a collage project using her collection of over 360 National Geographic magazines that she found on the side of the road. The aim is to bring people together to create one massive project that will ultimately include over 10,000 collages, each one representing a unique blend of photographed memories from around the world. Our CreativeMornings event offers the unique opportunity to contribute to this growing collective that serves as an open invitation for people to gather, connect and explore.
