My name is Madeleine Wood and I am a visual and performing artist from Atlanta, GA. I am a firm believer in the idea that art is the breath of the soul and I find myself breathing through many different media and inspirations to grow my understanding of the world and to help provide the world with a better understanding of itself. I earned my BA in Fine Arts from Spelman College. It was in my time at Spelman that I learned the importance of building myself as a free-thinking black woman as well as making art that allows other black women feel seen and heard. I went on to graduate from William Esper Studio in New York. During my time in New York, I combined my entrepreneurial spirit, artistic education and thespian background to create designs for a number of brands large and small alike, as well as to develop a showcase for young emerging artists, called Platform. I continue to use my art as a vehicle to become my highest self and to continue finding my voice, while inspiring others to do the same.
 
I am currently based in Atlanta, where I create custom logo designs, paintings, children’s book illustrations, portraits, murals, album covers and more.
