for madeliene, in art there are no rules and principles. she believes that
all artists can paint what they feel, imagine and observe. the important
element is the present feeling of wanting to create, the first impression.
every artwork is a challenge to her, it covers her wide space of thoughts,
feelings and purposes. her art is an expression and a form of therapy, it isolates
her with the present and locks her in the world of freedom and creativity.

some of her works are now owned by private collectors in canada, indonesia,
Philippines, bangladesh, singapore, england, and usa.
