Memory's Garden

by Maddi Snowden

September 10th to October 11th

Maddi Snowden is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based out of Grafton's Cherry Hill Studio.
Her work is in series, choosing and exploring a style and subject matter, experimenting through repetition.
For florals, she works without references, aiming to create the impression of being immersed in a spring garden without specifically indicating which species are on display.
When painting wildlife, colours are heightened and creatures imbued with character.
When painting still life, work is done predominantly with a palette knife to sculpt the image out of the canvas.
Most pieces are done in heavy acrylics with lots of sculptural medium to model thick, drippy images that have literal and visual depth.
The goal is to produce impressionistic pieces that evoke the feelings that arise from taking the time to look closely at the vivid spaces around us.
