Xenia Madison

Xenia Madison- Born San Francisco, CA (USA) year 1969Abstract landscape painter

Xenia Madison paints intuitively about life and the inner spirit, expressed through abstracted landscapes of both physical and imagined forms.

"Painting is my healing practice, similar to meditation. I use this medium to provoke self reflection, and to align with spirit within. The focused attention and technical commitment involved, grounds me in the present moment. Here, I feel profound acceptance, non judgment, compassion, forgiveness, and the reassuring sense that I'm connected to life's essence, which I see as universal and boundless."

Madison is a self-taught artist, who draws insight, inspiration and concepts primarily from her own healing and spiritual path, and from twelve years experience coaching gifted, visionary, and enterprising creative-types. Xenia is a San Francisco native, now living and working in San Luis Obispo County. As an abstract painter, she has garnered national exposure, award recognition, and fine art gallery representation.
