Madison Pemberton is a 20 year old artist from East Texas, who’s always had a love for art. Growing up in a small town, she spent a lot of time exploring different creative outlets, which eventually led her to pursue a Studio Art Major with All-Level concentration. Now a junior, Madison mainly works with charcoal and oil paint, using these mediums to dive deep into ideas of identity and the worlds we create for ourselves.

Her work is all about exploring the stories we tell about who we are and how we see the world. Madison’s pieces often combine both personal and imaginative elements, mixing figuration with dream-like atmospheres that blur the lines between reality and fantasy. Through her art, she creates spaces where the past and present, memory and imagination, all collide giving the viewer a glimpse into her own journey of self-discovery.

Whether it's through bold contrasts in charcoal or the rich, layered textures of oil paint, Madison’s work invites you into a world that’s intimate, raw, and full of possibility. Each piece reflects her growing voice as an artist, and she’s excited to share these new explorations with you.
