madeline hopkinsI am a painter of life and color. My work reflects the continuous evolution of light and mood and offers my perspective on 'place'. My views conjure an alternative to what is expected. Primarily, my paintings are about catching a moment, not so much about telling a story or looking at a view but seeing and experiencing a moment which evokes a response, sometimes deconstructed. I value quiet time. I seek altered states in my paintings... a place off the main path.
I have gone down several roads in my career. After majoring in Illustration at Rhode Island School of Design, I found illustration jobs difficult to find... or at least not the type I wanted to do. So, I worked in a gallery, was a corporate art consultant, worked in a frame shop, worked at a newspaper. Then, there was architectural design. I worked at one of the best design firms in Philadelphia for a few years and really enjoyed it. But things changed after relocating to southern Maine and I left the corporate world to design independently. I was commissioned to re-design a restaurant and several homes, as well as new construction. I also began turning my focus to studio work and plein-air painting. Madeleine P. Hopkins
