Shayla Maddox

Living and working out of Southern California. I'm also in San Francisco, London, and Hawaii a lot.

I've been writing online about life as a working artist since 2006.

Exhibited in galleries in Los Angeles and Laguna Beach from 2006-2011. Began throwing my own shows in 2011 in Los Angeles, which were much more successful!

Since 2013 I've been funding my ongoing work through Patreon. - This helps with things like art supplies, education, rent, health insurance, business expenses, etc. It also allows me to remain an independent artist.

A bunch of different galleries throughout Southern California between 2006-2011. Do you really care though? I don't. They were just galleries. I'm much more interested in what I've accomplished outside of galleries. :)

In 2016 I was featured on the cover of Professional Artist magazine. https://www.patreon.com/posts/professional-6713291

Here's an article about me in VICE. https://creators.vice.com/en_us/article/vvy7a4/trip-the-light-fantastic-with-these-phosphorescent-paintings

Here I am talking Patreon and what it means to be an artist on the internet with Jack Conte and Taryn Arnold. https://youtu.be/Spb7DuEXiFU
