After the Fire - Solo Exhibition at M16 Artspace in Canberra

In February 2018, the national park at Mount Canobolas just outside of Orange, and a place I spend a lot of time and find much inspiration, was ravaged by bushfire. I began painting this series in mid-2019, in response to seeing the way the bush was slowly recovering from the devastation. I am in awe of the resilience of the environment and its ability to adapt and regrow after natural disasters like drought and bushfire.

The Light is Different Here - Solo Exhibition at The Corner Store Gallery in Orange

Madeline Young’s abstract compositions are inspired by the unique beauty of the Australian bush; the way dappled sunlight filters through the canopy, casting long rays of light and shadow and the distinctive blue-green of Eucalyptus leaves filling the air with their familiar scent. Madeline simplifies and exaggerates the shapes she finds in nature and uses blocks of colour to create works that, like the Australian bush, are simultaneously vibrant and serene.
