Reflections in Red Woods. A creek winds between tall autumn trees with red and gold trunks, the water mirroring the canopy in ripples of orange, green and blue.

“After 20 years, I am at peace with the loss of my sight. Art has been the magic antidote.” Madeleine Popper

Meet Madeleine

A love of art that began in the Louvre and never left

Madeleine's story starts in France, in childhood visits to the Louvre, and carries through her migration to Australia at seventeen. When her sight declined she did not stop painting. She changed how she paints, building each work through touch and the memory of colour.
