Stories
From Life, Dreams,
Rare and Mysterious Animals and Other Oddities
Two young, women Artists
expressing their “greatest, most magical joys and
deepest traumas” through Art.
Deja
Freeman is a mixed media artist from Columbus, Ohio. She works primarily on wood (often in the
form of cigar boxes) She is particularly
drawn to interesting textures and heavy, woman-centered themes.
“My art is inspired by my own deepest
traumas and my greatest, most magical joys. Through painting, I am able to
process and communicate my feelings about those experiences. Each piece is
highly personal to me- like a journal. The work in this show deals with
identity and the growing pains of evolving from the younger, less tired version
of myself, to who and what I am now; a wife, a mother, a transplant from a city
to a very small town… Coupled with the realities of anxiety and depression,
what does that evolution look and feel like? What pieces of myself can I or
should I keep, and what pieces have I now outgrown?”
Madeleine
Magill is primarily a painter, although she routinely extends her essence
beyond the canvas, into photography and sketches, Madeleine's artwork
represents mystery and unknown oddities. Her canvases are full of medieval
worlds, as well as rare and mysterious animals. Her paintings are intense,
portraying emotions from euphoric to deeply agitated. Raised in the
Mountains of Colorado, she developed a deep love for nature and exploring it.
Each paintings is an adventure to itself, within worlds we only realize through
dreams.
