Madeline’s Story
Where it All Began
Madeline Shayne is a visual artist from the Ozarks whose work blends photography, costume design, and digital artistry to create whimsical, fantastical, and elegant compositions. Her artistic journey began in her with regular painting grandmother’s home, where she learned to appreciate the magic of storytelling through art. Encouraged by her mother’s creative spirit—expressed in projects ranging from hand-colored photography to furniture painting—Madeline’s passion for imaginative expression flourished.
The Process
Madeline designs her own costumes and props, photographs her creations, and transforms them with careful and meticulous Photoshop editing. Her work reflects a deep desire to retell common human experiences in ways that highlight their beauty and foster connection, adding a touch of fantasy that invites viewers to rediscover the magic of everyday life.
Collaborations and Exhibitions
Her collaborations with composer Kristina A. Bishoff have resulted in three successful Kickstarter projects: art books and soundtracks inspired by the Green Rider series by New York Times bestselling author Kristen Britain. Madeline’s art has been featured in exhibitions across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Arkansas.
What’s Next
Currently, Madeline is developing her own series, Passages, which reimagines pivotal life moments—both her own and those of others—through an elegant and whimsical lens. With Passages, Madeline continues her mission to craft art that resonates with shared human experiences, making each viewer feel like a character in a beautifully illustrated storybook.
