Madison McCaulley was born and raised in Edwards, Colorado. She has been inspired by the beautiful landscapes of Colorado since childhood. Growing up in Eagle County she had many support systems to support her art, including encouraging teachers and supportive family. She has had great art teachers in the public schools. From an early age her parents took her skiing, hiking and camping which influenced her sense of observing nature. The imprint nature has left on her is reflected in her art. In high school she took AP Art. She also competed in Nordic skiing and running. After high school, she went to Saint Olaf College to study Studio Arts. She has been to several foreign countries, including year in Egypt in 2006/2007, (and a most recent trip to Norway.) She also went to Adams State University for a Master’s in Painting, graduating in 2011. She still enjoys Alpine and Cross-country skiing in the winter, and hiking and running in the summer. Right now, Madison is working any "day job" to support her art. She juggles art, exercising in the outdoors and her day jobs. All her work is hand painted by brush, Acrylic on canvas.

The tree knots on the Aspen Trees can resemble "eyes." The Native Americans saw the tree knots of the Aspen trees as the "eyes of their ancestors." The Aspen tree is one of the largest organisms on Earth, connected underground by the root system.
Making art is also very therapeutic, and a basic human need of expression...
