Local artist, Madi Phaff, has been interested in all things art for as long as she can remember. Madi began her art journey at the University of Lethbridge, where she completed two undergraduate degrees. While working on her Bachelor of Fine Arts, Madi focused on drawing,  oil and acrylic painting, printmaking, as well as installation art and some photography. 

Madi obtained her Bachelor of Education from the University of Lethbridge and now enjoys teaching Upper Elementary art at the Maria Montessori Academy as well as children’s and adult art classes at McTavish Academy of Art.

Most of Madi’s inspiration for her artwork is found in nature, with a specific focus on patterns in nature. 

In her off time, Madi enjoys hiking, camping, bbqing, learning about trees and plants, spending time with the ocean, attending local music shows, and quality time with her husband and friends. 

“Teaching art and creating are my biggest passions in life. Through time and thought, these creations become tangible treats for the living.”
