Madaleine Avice-Demay

Madaleine Avice-Demay, a Melbourne-based artist, has beautifully carved her niche in the world of mixed media and digital art. With over five years of dedicated study, she now offers unique custom paintings and illustrations, with a special passion for textile design, fashion, and children’s book illustration.

From her earliest memories, visual arts have been Madaleine’s constant companion. Her creations, inspired by cherished childhood memories and whimsical tales, blend simplicity with deep meaning. At the tender age of 14, she faced a life-altering challenge—a series of strokes. This left her with a disability that she continues to navigate daily. During her recovery, a simple gift from a friend—an art kit—became a beacon of hope. It reignited her passion for illustration and storytelling, marking a period of vulnerability and determination that significantly shaped her artistic journey.

Madaleine believes that art should resonate deeply with both its creator and its beholder. She values meaningful conversations, ensuring her work aligns with the desires and sentiments of those who connect with it. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of art, the resilience of the human spirit, and the strength found in overcoming adversity.
