Artist Madeline Peckenpaugh On How She Turns Everyday Experiences into “Spontaneous” Paintings

Art in America spoke with painter Madeline Peckenpaugh, who explains how she creates her beguiling paintings and emphasizes the importance of staying spontaneous.
“I mostly draw imagery from everyday experiences: memories, places I’ve lived, things I see on walks,” Peckenpaugh explained during the recent studio visit. “Sometimes, I’ll see something I liked in one painting, and then I’ll try it again in the next one.”
AiA visited Peckenpaugh’s studio for our New Talent issue. She is one of five New York-based artists to watch featured in our new studio visit video series.
