Madalyn Kennedy grew up in Houston, Texas and has always had a natural ability and interest in art. It seems to run in her family and, as a little girl, Madalyn remembers her mother allowing her the freedom to create and always encouraged her to get involved in painting and studying art. Her mother is also an artist, from a long line of talented painters and even today she and her mother enjoy painting together at every opportunity. Madalyn says “Even if we are not applying pigment to a surface, we are constantly talking, living and breathing art and I love that.”
Her travels through UK, Europe and the Middle East has inspired and peaked an interest in presenting many new challenges that she looks forward to capturing as her impression of beauty as art.
