A native New Mexican, she comes to painting by way of her work as an archival paper designer for fine book binders, collage artists, and calligraphers. Madeleine’s style has a tranquil quality that is strikingly unique. She has developed her own technique which sprang from a moment of inspiration in her studio one cold winter day many years ago. Her papers and paintings are all created using Arches Text Wove and Japanese Kozo papers. Her art is in public and private collections around the world. Recently she was invited to show her papers in the Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She also offers a beautiful line of wall art which she shows through the Santa Fe Society of Artists in downtown Santa Fe.
