Hey there!

Hi, I’m madie, the human behind dumpster slayer! A multi-medium fiber artist and environmentalist who loves to travel & play outside. When I’m not making art, you can find me canoeing, camping or obsessively reading. At the core of my arts meaning has always been a deep connection to the earth and desire to protect her; showing up in colorful, joyous creations. Let’s be fairies in the forest together!!
