Small - 12 inch butterfly -
Tu es Jolie is inspired by the unlimited possibilities of reinvention that are within each and every one of us, and the power of self-renewal with self-belief. This piece is finished with fabric remnants otherwise heading to landfill that have been reimagined as a ruffling top layer, adding value and luxury- and a reminder that second chances and the potential for such transformation are available to you too. Laura Madden is a self-taught mixed media artist based in Phoenix, Arizona. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, she reimagines reclaimed materials and found objects—items that might otherwise be dismissed as disreputable or disposable—as the foundation of her artistic practice. In 2019, she made the decision to pursue art professionally after recognizing it as her true life’s calling. Madden’s creative path began with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Physiology from the University of New Hampshire, where she graduated summa cum laude. She spent 15 years working in the fitness industry before transitioning into sustainable fashion—a field that continues to inform her work. Drawing inspiration from her passion for the environment, design, and the intersection of beauty and sustainability, Madden creates layered, textural works that are both elegant and evocative.
Her work has been exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions throughout Arizona and is included in private collections across the U.S., U.K., India and Canada. Garnering praise from her local community, Madden’s art has been featured in Luxe Interiors + Design, Modern Luxury Scottsdale, Iconic Life, So Scottsdale, and Phoenix Home & Garden, as well as on TV networks including Fox 10 Phoenix, CW7, Arizona Midday 12, Arizona's Family 3, and ABC 15. www.lauramaddenstudio.com
