About + CV
Maddie Dunn is a California-based artist whose work explores psychology, human emotion, and social structures. Though she has practiced portraiture and drawing from a very young age, she began her extensive study of oil painting during the COVID-19 lockdowns, which has now developed into a dedicated practice and love for the medium. Formerly a psychology major, she has always maintained an interest in human experience and cognitive distortion, and these interests are evident in much of her work. Currently pursuing her Master of Fine Arts at California State University, Sacramento, Maddie continues to deepen her engagement with art history, critical theory, and contemporary painting practices.
