Inside the schoolie by Madeleinelovescolours in Vancouver

Madeleine is a landscape painter from Vancouver’s North Shore. She started painting live in 2012, when painted at a Transit Convention, and recreate one of her sketches from a recent commute on the bus. Since then she’s been painting at events through the lower mainland, including the Vancouver Art Battle, Harmony Arts Festival, and Parks Edge Paint off. “I never leave the house without a camera or a box of crayons, both tools that are necessary for capturing the beauty in the landscape surrounding us. My favourite thing about sharing my art is when people tell me 'This reminds me of my Grandma's house' or 'This is just like the library I used to spend hours in as a kid?'. Because this shows me that even though I had no idea what the house or library looked like, I was able to capture its unique feeling and take people back there.”
