HI, I’M MADDIE.
I’m Maddie Saunders-Pisano from Los Angeles. As an illustrator and designer, my work is inspired by nature and finding humor in life’s mundane moments. I explore shape, color, and texture with a childlike aesthetic.
I have a BFA in illustration and design at ArtCenter College of Design.
I have exhibited my work at galleries such as Giant Robot, Exhibit A Gallery, Gallery Nucleus, La Luz De Jesus Gallery, amongst many others.
