Maddison (Maddie) Post is a 22-year-old emerging artist residing in Amiskwaciwâskahikan (Edmonton, Alberta) on Treaty 6 territory. Maddie holds a Diploma of Studio Arts with Distinction from MacEwan University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Distinction from the University of Alberta. Maddie focuses her practice on storytelling and creating narratives based on research, personal connections and material exploration.
Maddie's practice takes form in exploration and play in both materiality and artistic process, becoming adept in a variety of different forms of craft. Creating sculptures, videos, drawings, paintings, soundscapes, and installations fuel Maddie's multi-media practice. Through honest and authentic research, Maddie uses her artistic practice to discuss themes of interest such as cultural heritage/diaspora, family history, and pop culture/current events, creating stories and narratives that have meaningful connections with viewers. Maddie's practice explores a consistent want to figure out the value of life, learning more about the world around her and before her through artistic creations. Maddie continues to contribute to art communities locally on Treaty 6. Serving as an artist mentor and active art community member, she is hoping to travel and take part in international art communities soon.
