biography

Madelyn Schutz is a Toronto-based queer artist, specializing in painting, printmaking, and comics. Born in Minnesota she often reflects on her adolescent years in midwestern suburbs. She finds inspiration in her surroundings, pop culture, personal life events, and the coming-of-age experience. Madelyn’s rabbit doll Lady Sarah is a recurring character throughout her work and is often used as a self-insert and to blur the lines between fantasy and reality.

Madelyn is a recent graduate of OCAD University with a BFA in Fine Arts and majored in Cross Disciplinary Art: Life Studies. This summer she will be continuing her work as a Production Assistant at Kid Icarus Screen Printing Studio in Toronto. Madelyn will be attending the Studio Kura artist residency in Itoshima Japan for the month of June to work on her first self-published comic.
