About the Curator
Maddi Snowden is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based out of Grafton's Cherry Hill Studio. She is part of Alchimista as the resident artist, curator, graphic designer, illustrator, and keen coffee drinker.

Her work is in series, choosing and exploring a style and subject matter, experimenting through repetition. For florals, she works without references, aiming to create the impression of being immersed in a spring garden without specifically indicating which species are on display. When painting wildlife, colours are heightened and creatures imbued with character. When painting still life, work is done predominantly with a palette knife to sculpt the image out of the canvas. Most pieces are done in heavy acrylics with lots of sculptural medium to model thick, drippy images that have literal and visual depth. The goal is to produce impressionistic pieces that evoke the feelings that arise from taking the time to look closely at the vivid spaces around us.
Maddi's work is regularly on display on the walls of the cafe, and she curates guest artists to fill the community wall on a monthly basis.
