We recently connected with Madison Newton and have shared our conversation below.

Madison, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.

1. Learning by doing is my number 1. I see others doing beautiful pieces of art, and it inspires me to create but with my own spin and style. Hours and years of practice, stepping out of my comfort zone, getting good feedback, and evolving my own niche all played a role in my growth.

2. I believe that knowledge comes with time and experience. However, I would have taken more classes early on to figure out what I truly enjoy doing, and to develop more skills for the future. Specifically, collaborating with other artists would have been helpful to get a feel for different processes and styles.

3. Color and art theory were huge for me, but also the skill of patience and the ability to stay creative were essential. They’ve helped me persevere through challenges and push through any creative blocks.”

4. As a shy introvert, I can go weeks without talking to anyone outside my small group. One of the biggest obstacles for me has been getting over the fear of being perceived and the potential judgment that might come with putting my art out into the world. I’ve also had to come to terms with the fact that there will always be someone bigger and better in the field. But the beauty of art is that it’s a journey, and that journey is unique for everyone. My path is my own, one that I’ve crafted, and I always have the power to change it and shape it as I grow.”

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I’ve always been the kid with a sketchbook in hand Art was a hobby that quickly became something I saw myself doing as a career. The process of creating sparks joy in me, and it’s always felt like a natural extension of who I am. Over time, that passion turned into a deeper commitment to my craft, and now, I’m proud to offer a variety of products, including prints and original paintings, that allow people to connect with my art in their own spaces.

What sets me apart is the authenticity behind my work. I create with the same love and energy that fuels my own creative journey, and I’m constantly amazed at the way my art has resonated with others. I’m most proud of the connections I’ve made through the people who have supported me or the creative friends I’ve met along the way. Watching my work evolve with every project has been one of the most rewarding aspects of this journey.

Through my art, I hope to inspire others to connect with their own creative expressions. Whether it’s through a piece that resonates with someone personally or simply the joy that comes from seeing an idea come to life, my goal is to bring a little bit of beauty and inspiration into the world.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is knowing that my work can relate to others. It’s not always pretty, and sometimes it’s downright goofy; but that’s part of the human experience, isn’t it? We don’t always express ourselves in neat or perfect ways, but there’s something powerful in the emotions, the rawness, and even the humor that we share.

When someone connects with my art, it reminds me that we all experience the world in similar ways, even when our journeys or emotions look different on the surface. It’s that deeper, messy connection that I treasure most. Whether it’s a joyful moment, a reflection of struggle, or just something playful, art allows me to connect with others in a way that’s incredibly fulfilling.

In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?

Society can best support artists by valuing creativity at every stage and not just when it’s polished or profitable, but when it’s raw, experimental, and real. We need to create spaces where artists can grow without judgment and recognize that education doesn’t stop after college. There’s always more to learn, more to create, and more to discover.

Supporting artists also means showing up, investing in independent work, and understanding that creativity is essential to building connected, vibrant communities. When we uplift creatives, we uplift all of us.
