Artist Statement<\/h4>\r\n

I find the artist\u2019s statements to be challenging.  As an artist evolution is necessary.  Experimentation is required, exploring the tools and rules of texture, color, and design. All are channels for passion and feeling, informing an artistic voice.  <\/h5>\r\n

Bio<\/h4>\r\n

An artist and educator, Madeleine Kelly, has judged numerous exhibitions.  Her studio is in Southeastern Pennsylvania. She describes her personal approach to her art as elevating the mundane for the marvelous.   <\/h5>\r\n
Although she never formally studied art, she continues to grow as an artist and has achieved her skills through workshops, museums, and demo presentations with such leading artists as Elizabeth Mowry, Rea Redifer, and Homer Johnson among others. Her works are displayed and admired in public and private collections around the world. Her paintings have been selected for various national and international juried exhibitions. An award-winning exhibitor, she is a Signature member of both the Philadelphia Water Color Society and the Philadelphia Pastel Society.  She is also a member of the American Impressionist Society.
