Madeleine Tapp captures in oils, wide open landscapes and waterscapes focusing on light and atmosphere, whilst drawing a connection between the calming natural environment and mindfulness.

Madeleine initially captures the sense of place in a landscape through traditional techniques en plein air on small board, in oil. On returning to her studio, on the Essex / Suffolk border, she creates large scale canvases that aim to give the viewer a moment of calm and solitude and a sense of living in the landscape.

Madeleine has been an Art Teacher in secondary and sixth form colleges. Since lockdown she has been focusing on her art practice and has exhibited locally in Essex, Suffolk, Derbyshire and further afield at The Art Buyer, London.
