Join us this Friday, July 10th, with local artist Madeline Tollefson. Relaxing and Rooted. Timeless and Poignant. 5:30-8:30
Artist’s Bio
Madeline Tollefson began painting in watercolor in 1990 to fill the void of four children and three foster children who began college or married life, and to renew an interest pursued before her marriage.
She has studied continuously with Ellen Duncan (KWS, CWS, AWS) and paints weekly with the Tuesday Artists, at Lecompton, Kansas. She maintains a private home studio. Additionally, Madeline has studied in workshops presented by Doug Walton, Tony Couch, Eric Wiegardt, Karlyn Holman, and numerous others.
Styles include Photorealism, Impressionism, and the Colorist tradition.
Goals are to glorify God and give joy with her watercolors, and to encourage others to pursue art at any age. Dreams include being a credit to her great-aunt, who before her death in 1955 was a charter member of the “Philadelphia Ten” women Impressionists group.

The Philadelphia Ten
Madeline’s paintings hang in several private homes and in area businesses.
