In the wake of the Eaton Fire, I feel solastalgia. Grief is present and part of it. However, Solastalgia places that grief within the greater context of a warming climate. To articulate this emotion, will help guide our paths forward in shaping a better future going forward.

“Nautilus” was painted as part of my solo show Petrichor, which explorer the sensorial experience of natural phenomenon through color shape and form, while exploring themes of place, overlapping time and connection.

Ok, going to make an introduction and see who I can connect with here where the skies are sunny! My name is Madeleine. I’m a painter and muralist living in LA. My work is about memory, place and the environment, and our ever changing connection to it. I care about human rights, and the power of art!
