The University of New Hampshire is giving a series
of lectures on Democracy starting in the Fall and going into their 2007/2008 year.
They are using images from Madelaine's "Going to Vote" series for
their posters to advertise their lecture series. This painting series
was done to commemorate South Africa's first all-race election in April 1994
when Nelson Mandela was elected the first black president of South Africa.

The US Center for Disease Control has published training materials for patient and community education in South Africa. The materials focus on HIV testing and counseling, and how to conduct TB/IV surveillance. They are developing these materials for use in South Africa's North West province. If South Africa's National Department of Health is interested in replicating the training in other provinces, the Center for Disease Control would reprint them for other provinces in South Africa. The materials will include images from Madelaine's series on Life in South Africa.
The University of Washington's School of Social Work has reproduced several of Madelaine's South African paintings in a brochure announcing their Doctoral Candidates to all US universities.
Madelaine gave a talk and slide show in October 2007 at the WICE in Paris, France, on the subject of her Truth and Reconciliation project. The WICE is an Anglophone association providing cultural and educational programs and services for the international community in Paris. The presentation was very well received.
Recent Exhibitions/News:
Madelaine is currently working on a series of artworks to visually portray aspects of Climate Change, specifically global warming. She will concentrate on impacts observed and experienced within the Arctic Circle and in this way be able to narrow this vast and complex topic as well as deal with factual, measured changes and real life experiences. Madelaine went
on a two week educational voyage to the Arctic in July 2006 in order to experience it first hand.
(See Trip Itinerary)
Madelaine is working in an entirely new way and approaching this project using new techniques and new materials. The imagery will consist of two-dimensional, abstract wall-hangings using raw, unstretched canvas thus freeing her from the restrictions of a rigid surface and a rectangular format. The work will be highly textured and 3-D in some parts and will use a variety of materials, some of which will be natural.
Images of new artworks for this series can be viewed at the
Global Warming Exhibition on this website.
