March is kidney awareness month, in addition to women's history month. Both are very important to me of course, but without my transplant I would not be here today, and neither would my art!<br />
<br />
After celebrating my 15 year transplant anniversary, I feel grateful and renewed. Today, March 10th, is <a href="http://www.worldkidneyday.org/" target="_blank">world kidney day</a>. Many people suffer from kidney failure, but it is most difficult to see young children suffer. Children are very resilient, but they need hope.<br />

My upcoming book, Azana's Ribbons, was written for children dealing with kidney failure in hopes that it would bring them joy and inspiration. Look for more details soon.<br />
<br />
Learn more about kidney disease and organ donation through the <a href="https://www.kidney.org/" target="_blank">National Kidney Foundation</a>, and please help me to raise awareness and support for research about my particular ailment, IGA Nephropathy at www.igan.org.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your continued support!<br />

It was amazing at how receptive and inspired the children were during and after my speech. As an artist, it is so important to be able to share my creative journey with children, and inspire them to greatness!<br />
<br />
The importance of having a dream, and having the support you need to believe and pursue it, is pivotal to the success of many children. It is important for artists, and other professionals in their fields, to inspire children to hope and dream so that they can see life beyond their own limitations.<br />
<br />
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."- Eleanor Roosevelt<br />

The trip to Maryland this year was fun and exciting! I usually fly, but a road trip with great friends was something I didn't even know I needed.:0) I met some great folk in Maryland. Thanks to all who came out to support and purchase my work! I appreciate you! I'll be back on that side again soon. For now, I gotta get back to the business of making art. :0)<br />

<br />
I have had a tremendous amount of inquiry about my work, and a bevy of support from all over the world. My work has always been for the people, so for a limited time, I am offering a catalogue that features some selected paintings from my series that I began in 2007. There are two ways that you can own this catalogue. You can purchase directly from the site <span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><a href="http://blur.by/1mOZmQt">http://blur.by/1mOZmQt</a> </u></span> or you can purchase it directly from me, in which case, I will sign and date the book for you.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Please remember, I will only be offering the catalogue for a limited time, and the signed versions will be even more limited. The first 200 people who order through me, will have their books signed.</div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are interested, please contact info@tamaranataliemadden.com. If you would like my signature, please choose the book at the price point that you are comfortable with, <b>email your choice to info@tamaranataliemadden.com</b>, and I will send you a Paypal invoice for the list price<b> plus</b> an additional $10 shipping fee. (Nominal Paypal fees will also apply.) If you live abroad shipping costs may cost a bit more. We will determine costs based on where you live.</div>

I've been very lax with my blog. I've been busy with my other blog Cultured Artists™, and with painting. I want to do my best to blog this year. My work is evolving and growing. More copycats are showing up, but I continue to master 'me!'<br />
<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I'm offering limited edition giclees for some of my pieces. I'll also make it easier for those who want to purchase to shop directly from my site. Thanks for your support, and please follow me on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tamara-Natalie-Madden-Arts/182262385158495">Facebook.</a><br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">i've been exceedingly busy with life. it takes time to create, think, learn and grow. things are changing tremendously, including my work. i am giddy about all that is happening, and all that will continue to happen on this creative journey. recently, i had the opportunity to work with vanderbilt university, and children from the nashville community. it was a wonderful and fulfilling experience. i am encouraged because the children were encouraged. i am working diligently on new art...stronger more meaningful pieces. work like that takes time, so please bear with me. i've shared some images of the children's work below. i hope you are as inspired as i was. </span></div>

Some, I was able to accomplish, others, well... I have to say that I've learned a lot, about my own strength and persistence. My passion for creating is even more intensified, and I can greet struggle and disappointments with confidence--knowing that good things will come from all of it!<br />
<br />
I have shows already lining up for the New Year, and I've had some very successful shows this year, including my solo at Avisca! I am so honoured that I was able to show my work there. I've come leaps and bounds from where I was, creatively, 7 years ago.<br />
<br />
I have NEW inspired art coming for 2012! I'm so excited to create. I have another solo show coming in the spring, and I'll divulge all details later. In the meantime, I wanted to share with you some of my collage series. These are very small collages, that I thoroughly enjoy creating. I've been creating them on and off for years, but decided to play with them in a different way.<br />
<br />
I'll be posting the rest on my <a href="http://www.tamaranataliemadden.com/">website</a> soon...in the meantime, enjoy! <br />

<a href="http://www.tamaranataliemadden.com/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWnuMNnsBEXuHMgtwGOcQyWbqCj7Y33LYGwauz5ldmd67OFnM7JmSsR4_r8-4UyuJAIdQFBXeNToWIvKJgzWXDyE0pG684FmxpzjQwfhCo1SjaOQ1-epoD6JEDbgTQZVwHhqKyyiP6wDPb/s400/blackfacead.jpg" width="220" /></a><br />
For years we've seen negative imagery of people<i> </i>painting themselves in horrific blackface, to mimic and mock the beauty of black skin. It's still going on to this day, and can be seen in ads around the world as some new fashion trend. It's an insulting trend. There are so many amazingly gorgeous black beauties that could be used in these ads instead.<br />
<br />
Additionally, there is an epidemic in Jamaica, all across the Caribbean, in Africa, and India with skin bleaching. It's become an horrific trend to see people bleaching their gorgeous dark skin to become a shade that is lighter, all while poisoning themselves and risking cancer. <br />
<br />
This new series celebrates the real <i>black faces, </i>of women, men and children. I wanted to focus on our lovely features: full noses and voluptuous lips. It's a celebration of black, and although <i>black</i> comes in many shades, I chose to use the medium of charcoal to create these pieces. I wanted to express this sense of 'blackness' in a more monochromatic manner.<br />
<br />
More to come soon!<br />
<br />

<strong><em>Tamara Natalie Madden: Full Circle</em></strong><strong> </strong><br />
<em>October 7-28, 2011<br />
Opening Reception: Friday October 7, 6pm-9pm<br />
Avisca Fine Art Gallery, 507 Roswell Street, Marietta, GA 30060</em><br />
Marietta, GA (September 26, 2011) – Tamara Natalie Madden has a lot to celebrate. A solo exhibition to mark her ten years of art-making opens at Marietta, GA Avisca Fine Art Gallery. That is a remarkable achievement in itself, but more remarkable is her story of tragedy, triumph and an amazing twist of fate that got her to this milestone in her life. In 1997, at 22 years of age, Madden was diagnosed with a rare and incurable genetic kidney disease called IGA Nephropathy. Over the next few years she would watch her body deteriorate while she tried to maintain balance and sanity in the face of a brutal dialysis regimen and with all the toxins that were collecting in her body.<br />
At age 13, Madden had moved to the U.S. from her native Jamaica where her childhood was humble but filled with memorable childhood experiences, the love and guidance of family and teachers, and dreams of becoming an artist. Over the next few years she created art sporadically but after her diagnosis, in what may be a silver lining, she turned most of her time, attention and passion to art-making as therapy.<br />
In 2000, Madden took a trip to Jamaica to reunite with family and with hopes of finding a half-brother that she had never met. She had no idea that the trip would save her life. On learning of her condition, her brother offered to give her one of his kidneys. The amazing offer was consummated in 2001 with Madden undergoing a successful kidney transplant. That year she participated in her first art exhibition, making good on the determination that she had made long ago to become a professional fine artist.<br />
Her art and her career have both grown meteorically since that first exhibition. Today her work can be found in collections such as Vanderbilt University in Tennessee and Alverno College in Wisconsin. She has exhibited in a number of group and solo exhibitions in the United States and Canada. She was a recipient of an individual grant from the Puffin Foundation for her project, “Never Forgotten”, which focused on combating poverty worldwide; and her work has been featured in publications including the New York Times, the Jamaican Gleaner and Upscale magazine.<br />
Tamara Madden’s work reveals a fascination with people, usually ordinary, everyday people who, in her portrayal, appear as royalty, nobility, or somehow above the fray of quotidian life, even as they engage in activities that root them in their environment. Perhaps it was the life-saving act of charity and the love and nurturing of family and friends that have shaped her world view in which people are inherently good, divine, ethereal and noble. At the same time, her work also often voices larger social concerns and she is not afraid to use her subjects to turn a spotlight on issues such as poverty, class, status and racism.<br />
Her solo exhibition, “Full Circle” is Madden’s loving paean to the people, places and experiences that have informed and inspired her over ten years of art-making. The exhibition opens with a reception on Friday, October 7, 6-9 PM and runs through October 28. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.<br />

From the very beginning, my work was about giving a voice to those who are overlooked. Many of my paintings were classified as ‘folk art’, but I wanted the work, and the people who were being painted, to be viewed as royals. The emergence of the new series gave voice to these individuals in a distinctive manner, heightening them through fantastical headdresses and uniquely collaged garb. </div><div class="MsoNormal">Full Circle is essentially a fusion of the two styles. It is a my way of delving into my beginnings as an artist to bring light to the things that inspire my art the most—the people, and their experiences. It serves as a way for me to evoke memories of my childhood in Jamaica, while highlighting the very people who inspired me to become the artist that I am. Some paintings focus on strictly conceptual ideas of seeing everyday items as symbols of royalty, while others deal with the mystique of memory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each painting is my unique perspective about a thing, a moment, or an experience that I have experienced in reality or in theory.</div><div class="MsoNormal">The pieces are created using a variety of material. Some more traditional materials include canvases, while others include found objects, again fusing elements of folk art with more traditional elements of fine art. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- Tamara Natalie Madden</div> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689108123513231947.post-52738230294867243982011-08-21T23:43:00.000-07:002011-08-21T23:44:35.119-07:00Quotes of the Week-Truth<b>Seek the truth always.</b><br />

<h5 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.tamaranataliemadden.com/"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2191" height="239" src="http://www.on-verge.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/1_Goldilocks2.jpg" title="1_Goldilocks" width="320" /></a><i> </i></h5><h5 style="text-align: center;"><i>Goldilocks </i>(2011) by Tamara Natalie Madden (30″ x 40″, acrylic and mixed media on canvas)</h5>Ten years ago, contemporary painter Tamara Natalie Madden got a second chance at life. Since then, she has lived by the creed, “Create as much as you can, while you can.” That thinking has lent itself to a prolific body of work, as well as a Jane-of-all-trades approach to life since Madden is also a children’s book author and illustrator, a fine art photographer, a stylist and make-up artist, a master colorist, a vegetarian and health advocate, a blogger, a mom, and a kidney transplant survivor. She lives near Atlanta, but hails from a small, rural town in the parish of Manchester, Jamaica. It was there in Frankfield, high up in the mountainous bush, where the artist resided with her grandmother and others while her mother pursued a better life in America.<br />
Though steeped in poverty, her early years were filled with the warmth of neighbors, family, and friends. By the time she began to pursue an art career in America as an adult, she was already deeply inspired by the Jamaican people who had surrounded her during her formative years. A precocious child, Madden loved reading books, climbing trees, and helping her beloved grandmother, “Mama,” who was always busy fetching water from the outdoor tank, building fires in the outdoor kitchen to cook meals, boiling water for bathing and washing clothes, and walking, mile after scorching mile, through the blinding white heat come dawn every Saturday morning on the grueling trek to church.<br />
Money and resources were scant, but her grandmother was always generous in her care of family and others. Even under such dire circumstances, it was not unusual for her grandmother or others to take in children from families who were unable to care for them. That spirit of interconnectedness and survival left its mark on Madden and later came to influence her otherworldly portraits.<br />
If one looks closely at the artist’s subjects, the faces of those townspeople might become evident. Most certainly, one will see extraordinary images of ordinary black folk. But what Madden has set out to do is pay homage in paint to the true heroes and heroines of our time.<br />
<a href="http://www.tamaranataliemadden.com/"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2192" height="320" src="http://www.on-verge.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/2_Of-Royal-Lineage.jpg" title="2_Of Royal Lineage" width="155" /></a><br />
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><i>Of Royal Lineage</i> (2010) by Tamara Natalie Madden (48″ x 24″, acrylic and mixed media on canvas)</h5>Positively influenced by a challenging but rewarding childhood, the artist paints to dignify the indigent. She wrote, “Amazing people surrounded me, including my grandmother, who despite her struggle with poverty and emotional strain, found it in her heart to give back, to care for and support her fellow man. The neighbors would share food, water, and their love for God. I always found that to be amazing, and I wanted the voices of those people to be heard.”<br />
<a href="http://www.tamaranataliemadden.com/"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2193" height="320" src="http://www.on-verge.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/3_Rastaman-Chant.jpg" title="3_Rastaman Chant" width="213" /></a><br />
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><i>Rastaman Chant </i>(2007) by Tamara Natalie Madden (30″ x 20″, acrylic and mixed media on canvas)</h5>When Madden began to paint these ‘everyday’ people, it was not uncommon for her to dress her subjects in unremarkable clothing and to situate them in prosaic Jamaican settings—a woman with a baby in her arms, a man on a stoop with a machete, or even her grandmother with her dog.<br />
<a href="http://www.tamaranataliemadden.com/"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2194" height="239" src="http://www.on-verge.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/4_Mama-and-Bringle.jpg" title="4_Mama and Bringle" width="320" /></a><br />
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><i>Mama and Bringle</i> (2007) by Tamara Natalie Madden (18″ x 24″, acrylic and mixed media on canvas)</h5>Her interest in manipulating color and quilting were evident in early works, but her mastery of paint handling and style evolved quickly when she began to infuse her subjects with royalty. This was evidenced in the elaborate rendering of subjects’ skin, hand-stitched quilting of their stately garb, and intricate handling of gold-leaf crowns and regalia for each king and queen.<br />
<a href="http://www.tamaranataliemadden.com/"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2195" height="320" src="http://www.on-verge.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/5_Sankofa.jpg" title="5_Sankofa" width="160" /></a><br />
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><i>Sankofa</i> (2008) by Tamara Natalie Madden (48″ x 24″, acrylic and mixed media on canvas)</h5>Madden states: “Unfortunately, when I began to paint these people, they were not readily accepted, they were still overlooked. I decided to turn the same people into representations of royalty, clothing them in fantastical ornate outfits, and focusing on all that would attract viewers to pay attention to the beauty within.” Around that time, the artist was deeply moved by yet another everyday hero and it made her want, more than ever, to honor those who live unsung even as they save others’ and survive their own lives.<br />
By then as the mother of a young child and stricken with a fullblown, life-threatening, genetic kidney disease, Madden felt that if she didn’t make a trip home to Jamaica soon, she might never get another chance. Additionally, her beloved grandmother was nearing the end of her life but helped the artist locate a long lost brother. In 2000 before beginning the dreaded dialysis treatments, Madden flew home to Jamaica for the first time since leaving as a child.<br />
While there, she was serendipitously reacquainted with her brother who took one look at her and inquired about her condition. She explained her ashen skin, low weight, and lack of strength as well as the illness, the medications, and the side effects. Before the end of her trip, this brother with whom she who she had never communicated beyond a chance meeting as children, offered her his kidney, further churning the artist’s fascination with the fortitude of everyday people.<br />
Back in the United States, Madden suffered the pain and indignity of dialysis, sketching and drawing to pass time and vowing to become a professional artist when she received her transplant. Several times per week, she sat, connected to multiple IVs and needles, watching all the blood drain from her body into machines, and then, through multiple tubes, back in, cleansed, while other patients mysteriously disappeared, one after another.<br />
Fatigued but friendly with nurses and others, she struggled to maintain her sanity while coping with the reality of death all around her. A year after their reunion, the artist and her brother successfully underwent the kidney transplant surgeries. That same year, Madden also participated in her first art exhibition.<br />
<a href="http://www.tamaranataliemadden.com/"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2196" height="320" src="http://www.on-verge.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/6_Mystic.jpg" title="6_Mystic" width="211" /></a><br />
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><i>Mystic</i> (2008) by Tamara Natalie Madden (36″ x 24″, acrylic and mixed media on canvas)</h5>Today, Madden continues to elevate ordinary folk to royalty in her paintings. Adorned with mythological golden crowns, her subjects dazzle with nobility while situated in ethereal landscapes. Inspired by Gustav Klimt, Egyptian and West African royalty, the artist imbues her subjects with power through masterful portraiture and an adroit handling of color.<br />

Although I've discussed it often, I want to make it clear to all of those who support my work that there is purpose behind what I am doing.<br />
<br />
When I was growing up as a child in Jamaica, we made a sport out of knocking birds out of the sky, or a tree with slingshots. I swear I was a boy back then, but as it turns out, I've always been a girl! :0) We did all kinds of things with birds, even ate them...so gross in retrospect. Maybe that's why I'm a vegetarian now. It wasn't until I started getting into my teenage years that I began to appreciate their true beauty, grace and freedom. I would watch them fly away and always wondered where they were going and if they got there.<br />
<br />
In 2000, I started dialysis. Dialysis is for people who have End Stage Renal Disease. You have to go to a clinic or a hospital three times a week and sit in a chair for three to four hours while a machine pulls your blood out of you(via 7 gauge needles) cleans it, and then pumps it back it. Essentially it does what the kidney can no longer do, but it can never fully replace a kidney. There are a myriad of side effects, and then there is the feeling of being trapped...on a machine.<br />
<br />
I was blessed by God. I didn't spend a lot of time on the machine (just under a year), but those were some of the most difficult times of my life. I encountered many personality types at the dialysis center. Some souls had given up, there was no joy left in their eyes, no hope, while others had become completely numb. One gentleman there had been on dialysis for nearly 20 years. His skin had gotten so tough that he injected <i>himself</i> with the 7 gauge needles. I always cringed. He said he never wanted a transplant because he felt that was what God wanted. I always told him that God wanted me to be free so that I could create.<br />
<br />
When I was there, I always brought my sketchbook and my headphones. The sketchbook kept me busy, and kept my mind occupied, and the reggae music drowned out the screams that punctured the air. Pain from frequent leg cramps and a myriad of other things caused people to suffer, and I did my best to escape, despite.<br />

Those were the days that I decided that I was going to be a true artist. The 'counselor' would always come around to talk to us. She would always ask me why I drew. I kept telling her of my goals, and even though I didn't have much then; I whipped out a business card that I printed on my computer. "Check out my website", I would say, I had created a generic one for free. I had to remain optimistic in the face of death, so when I received that blessed gift from my brother, that second chance, I decided that I wanted to fly.<br />
<br />
I paint them because they are a true and personal representation of how I feel now. I feel limitless, not bounded by illness or fear. After I received my transplant, I started off running, and now I'm flying. Soon I will be able to soar.<br />

I spend most of my time in the studio. Have you ever seen the tv show Heroes? The artist goes into a trance when he creates...well that's how I have been!:0)<br />
<br />
I just thought I'd share some new images, and a few studio shots. Ok, ok no time to blog, gotta go and paint! lol!<br />
<br />
I created some tiny pieces for my collectors. They are little gems that you can treasure. The ones below are 4"x4", and they are a nice way to begin collecting. :0) Visit my website to see more, but I'll continue to create these pieces for you all!<br />
