Meet Madeline!

Painting / Realistic Drawing / Cartooning / Digital Art

Hi, I am Madeline (or Maddie)! From a young age, I have always had a passion for the arts in all of its different mediums. It was a way that I could totally express myself, and art has always made me happy! I was always excited to draw and took art classes all throughout my school years since I enjoyed it so much. As I got older, I started taking art more seriously and honed in on my skills by seeking out extracurricular art instruction, taking an art summer camp and watching numerous YouTube videos. To me, art was easier than any other subject; it came to me naturally and was my favorite pastime. After my last art class my senior year of high school, I started trying to find my own style and pursue art as my living.

I graduated with my degree in studio art from DBU and now absolutely love teaching art lessons here at En Route Academy! I found out about En Route Academy through the head of the art department at the university, was able to substitute teach some of the art lessons and summer art camps here while I was still in college, and I fell in love with it! I enjoy showing students how they can express themselves freely through art and how to develop their individual technique and style. I aim to educate them on the importance of enriching our lives with art, and I desire to make a difference—helping others in a way that only art can!

When I am not teaching art lessons here at En Route Academy, or teaching art classes in the school system, or creating my own art to sell, or fulfilling art commission requests, I am usually volunteering at an animal shelter!
