Biography

Born in 1991 in Milwaukee, WI

The painting of Madeline Peckenpaugh, infused with her roots in the Midwest and enriched by her immersion in urban life, reflects a unique sensitivity to landscape. Each canvas exudes a distinct atmosphere, revealing a multitude of forces and natural phenomena in interaction. Her creative process, based on a technique of layering and erasing paint, gives rise to works that symbolize the unpredictability and continuous transformation of the environment.

Madeline Peckenpaugh (born in 1991 in Milwaukee, lives and works in New York) graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, USA, and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, USA. Peckenpaugh’s works have been exhibited, among others, at the Alexander Berggruen Gallery, New York; and in institutions such as The Rachofsky House, Dallas, USA; Woodmere Art Museum, Philadelphia, USA; and The Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Providence, USA. Her works are part of the public collections of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, USA; the Woodmere Art Museum, Philadelphia, USA; Brown University, Providence, USA; and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, USA.
