Carmel T. Madigan grew up by the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and believes that it was this early simple way of living that currently influences her art. Rugged lumpy terrain, open spaces, slippery rocks, air freshly blown from the ocean are some of the natural elements included in what might be called her sophisticated collages of mixed media.
She strives to experiment, to explore, to use materials in different way than their intended use, to be uncontrolled and insecure, to make suggestions, observations and to be absolutely passionate about the joy of a creative, simple mind as it translates her experience to a canvas.
Although she is driven by simple forces, she claims her eye often seeks and is excited by high density textures with infinite swirling impastos, rich vibrant colours, almost like a modern day Celt.
