A recent graduate from the University of Alberta’s Fine Arts program, Madison Dewar is a painter and printmaker in Edmonton. In her work, Madison uses the natural landscape as a means to explore a variety of topics, such as environmentalism, food culture and queer history. Often, she utilizes processes involving natural materials, such as creating her own inks from local plants and fruits. Her work has been shown at a variety of venues, including Epcor Tower, FAB Gallery, and Zoominescence: A Festival of Light. In 2016, she was selected as an RBC Emerging Artist in Residence at the Nina Haggerty Center, where she continues to work.
The Art Gallery of Alberta respectfully acknowledges that we are located in Treaty 6 Territory and Region 4 of the Metis Nation of Alberta. We respect this as the traditional and contemporary land of diverse Indigenous Peoples including the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Beaver Cree, Nitsitapi/Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Anishinaabe/Saulteaux/Ojibwe and Dene Peoples. We also acknowledge the many Indigenous, Inuit and Métis people who make Alberta their home today.
