Madeleine is a British contemporary landscape painter, born and raised in Scotland. She worked in Scotland in the years after obtaining her degree, gaining representation from several galleries and taking commissions, and eventually moving to London in 2017.
She spent much of her childhood holidays in the Highlands of Scotland, the rugged east coast and the lochs in the west. Her earlier works are mostly inspired by these landscapes and the soft hazy light of Scotland. Over time, her travels started to seep into her painting, with places including Namibia, Arizona, The Canadian Rockies, Vietnam, Miami, Cuba, California, the Tyrolean Alps to name a few. As the early influence of Scottish landscapes is still present in her work, the blend between these diverse lists of places in many of her paintings is an important aspect of her practice.
