maddie duda’s art celebrates girlhood
The great Britney Spears once said; “I’m not a girl / Not yet a woman”. While it may only be a sentence, this lyric still packs a mean punch when it comes to discussing the transitional experience of female adolescence. From sleepovers, friendship bracelets and a whole army of much-loved stuffed animals to cuddle with every night, the mere mention of girlhood can help bring back sparkly memories of a long-forgotten era. If you find yourself feeling sentimental for this specific time in your life, look no further than the dreamy artwork of Maddie Duda.
Drawing inspiration from her own childhood, the Detroit-based artist creates pink and glittery art that explores the themes of nostalgia as well as the bittersweet nature of memories. The multi-disciplinary artist also incorporates her snazzy textile skills to make clothes and pillows, which she then enhances with her painting.
