Through a feminist lens, my work explores the tension between intimacy, perception, and identity within contemporary culture.
Employing fragmentation and gestural painting, I examine the psychological and emotional dissonance that emerges between the self, the body, and the ideals projected onto it.
Fundamentally autobiographical, my practice navigates themes of longing, projection, vulnerability, and power. A perdurable sense of alienation and disillusionment has led me to turn a mirror toward both the male gaze and myself, speaking unapologetically through lived experience.
I seek to create spaces that challenge fixed notions of femininity while unearthing the quieter contradictions and shadows of human behaviour.

Emotional Capital
Through paintings and collected artifacts from a public search for connection, EMOTIONAL CAPITAL asks what it means to remain a loving person in conditions that make love feel untenable.
In 2025, Madison placed posters across Vancouver reading “Looking For The Perfect Man,” inviting strangers to respond via phone or Instagram. An experiment in playfulness and vulnerability, she became a vessel of fantasy and invention.
EMOTIONAL CAPITAL traces the tension between softness and anger, desire and withdrawal. It’s not a recap of the search, but a confrontation with longing, alienation, and the cost of wanting to be seen.
