Artist Biography: Madeline Rupard is a New York based artist recently relocated to Provo, UT where she is an Assistant Professor at Brigham Young University. Happily torn between East and West, she was born in the Utah desert and grew up in Washington DC. She received an MFA in Painting ('19) from Pratt Institute and a BFA in Studio Art ('16) from Brigham Young University. Most recently her work has appeared in Booooooom, New American Paintings, and at Lorin Gallery in Los Angeles and Room 57 Gallery in New York. Rupard’s paintings consider the American landscape as one who has moved through it frequently and traveled across long distances. A sense of wonder and lonely, transient observation is instilled in her pictures--you are not here to stay, but always passing through. She paints to describe contradictions: the suburban and the sublime, the sacred and the mundane, and the ancient and man-made running up against each other. Art, to her, is a reconciliation between the romantic and the realist.
