Madison is best known for using the written word as the basis for layered, multivalent paintings that reveal the subjectivity of both image and text when they’re taken out of their original contexts and layered together.

Inspired by history, strong feminine archetypes, and the certainty of death, she manipulates paint and other found materials around old book pages to experience words in a new way. The palimpsest of colors, text, and texture serve as a conduit for the viewer to channel unconscious fears, desires, and allow a connection to a more complex self, and overall, facilitates unique interpretations and a deeper personal connection to the art.
