HI-HO! I'm Maddie! I was born and raised in bright n' sunny California. I majored in Illustration and fine art and graduated from ArtCenter College of Design in 2017. My work has been shown at galleries throughout LA including Pop Secret Gallery, La Luz De Jesus Gallery, GR2, Alyce de Roulet Williamson Gallery, and others. I am skilled in both digital and analog media, including sewing and printmaking. I'm inspired by all things kitsch, retro, and wonky. My work deals with human nature, body image, and finding both meaning and humor in life’s mundane moments.

I’m a freelance children’s, interactive, and editorial illustrator based in Los Angeles, California. My work tends towards richly-detailed digital paintings that live somewhere between animation and photorealism. I enjoy creating characters that come from around our world, and that inhabit worlds of imagination.

I’m at home with conceptual thinking and communication, and I love to transform complex ideas into clear and appealing images. My extensive background in design and animation also helps me to see the big picture when illustrating for a variety of projects.

Kit Seaton

My primary works are adventure and fantasy comics for young adults. Dark fairytales and folklore were favorite subjects of my sister and I when we were young, and we told scary stories to keep each other awake at night. That fascination with fantasy and ghost stories has continued into my professional career in the form of collaborative graphic novels, including my continued story projects with my sister. Fantasy continues to be a popular form of escapism, which can feel like a necessity for young adults in this turbulent age. With a wealth of content and media to choose from, it can be tough to stand out. I bring a background of theatre as well as an interest in world history and cultural mythology, which contributes to the eclectic look of my work. More than just aesthetics, I understand that characters should grow from their narrative experiences. The stakes should matter by having a profound psychological effect on the main character, and builds throughout the story’s progress. This is the thesis of my approach to visual storytelling: to create compelling and emotionally intelligent stories that compel readers to return again and again, while offering tools to navigate a complex world.
