My Journey

“For as long as I can remember I have been in love with art and the practice of making art. I taught myself to draw at a young age and never looked back.

I like to be spontaneous, allowing the paint and pigments to swirl and drip over the canvas to create unique and expressive marks. I let the process show me what the painting wants to be and slowly bring it into focus, pulling order from chaos.”

- Madison Storm

Madison was raised on the land outside a small country town in rural South East Queensland where the inspirational forces of the forest flowed through her. From a young age she was inspired and captivated by art, she taught herself how to draw and her passion blossomed and grew with her.  

At age 15 she won first place in a local young arts prize for her original drawing, she held her first solo art exhibition soon after. Eager to improve her skills she enrolled in Queensland College of Art and completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts. In her last semester she was brave enough to take a class in portrait painting in oil, despite never being confident behind a paintbrush.  

Oil painting was the spark that lit the flame in her heart, she never put down the paintbrush again. 

Madison continues to refine her skills by learning new techniques and creating her own individual style of expression. To further push her boundaries as an artist she studied the Mastery of Painting at the prestigious Milan Art Institute. Madison discovered her own unique artistic voice, combining realism with elements of abstraction and surrealism to create visual poetry.  

Madison’s paintings can be described as a mysterious juxtaposition of realism and abstraction which depict a reality close to our own, but with limitless possibilities. Through vibrant and intense colours she strikes a chord within her audience, beckoning them to explore further. 

Madison is inspired by the natural world and her deep connection to the forest and bushland of Australia that she calls home. Her purpose as an artist is to inspire others to their full potential, opening themselves to see the beauty in every moment. Her hope is to touch people’s souls through her art, to reassure that there are always better days ahead.  

Madison is a strong believer that you, and only you are the creator of your destiny, that you are the source of your own happiness and no one else can hold the brush.
