Madeleine is a contemporary Australian artist living and working in Melbourne, Victoria. She works mainly in acrylics and is a realist still life painter. Her use of colour and shadow create bold, highly detailed and photorealism compositions. Madeleine finds beauty in the more mundane things. She loves the challenge of making everyday items like shopping trolleys, milk crates and half eaten toast, seem like a masterpiece and something to be beholden. Madeleine paints the bubbles in a cup of coffee or crumbs on a tablecloth, with enough detail and colour, they jump off the canvas.
