I've been working as an artist for 17 years. I started with installations and switched to painting, which was easier to accomplish in a small space with a low budget. :)

After a few years hanging my art in galleries, I became fully independent and started throwing my own gallery shows in Los Angeles while representing myself online. I am passionate about the opportunities available to artists in the 21st century!

I document my studio life at patreon.com/shaylamaddox - where you can find photos, videos, live broadcasts, free giveaways, behind-the-scenes sneak peeks and more! In 2016 my work was featured on the cover of Professional Artist magazine. Currently I'm producing a video series about my traveling-art-adventures last autumn through London and Sweden. I'm also searching for a larger, proper studio space to expand my business and allow me to keep painting! If you'd like to help, your subscription pledge on patreon.com/shaylamaddox goes directly into funding my future in art. Thank you for your interest in my work!
