Madeline began pursuing woodworking after graduating from UCLA with a degree in fine art focusing primarily on photography, video and sculpture. “I began to sculpt with wood but lacked the technical skills and understanding of the material to achieve the objects I imagined.” She began taking classes at Cerritos College eventually leading her to the Krenov School of Fine Woodworking. She is now the shop manager for a custom furniture shop in Downtown Los Angeles as well as a resident of Allied Woodshop, where she works on personal projects and pursues her art practice. Madeline spends the rest of her time outside, climbing, biking, and camping.
