MADELINE GARRETT

Madeline Garrett came from the Philadelphia area to Santa Barbara in 1993. She earned a B.A. cum laude in Sociology and studied graduate level economics and finance at Villanova University before participating in art workshops in Santa Fe and taking intensive art classes at the Art Institute of Chicago and Santa Barbara City College.

Madeline Garrett’s work developed from impressionistic florals and landscapes to collage and mixed media utilizing encaustics, oil, or acrylic, working on paper, canvas and wood. Her abstract paintings are ventures into the unknown, finding beauty in the mystery and the undefined. She has a passion for the painting process which she sees as a delicate balance of skill and intuition, a fluctuation of control and letting go, allowing for surprises. Drawing upon a multitude of life experiences, she pours herself into her paintings.
