welcome to my little corner of the internet ☁︎

my name is madeleine ours and i'm a french-american artist based in echo park, los angeles, and i'm also the founder of mads operandi studio.

i'm a self-taught painter working primarily in acrylic, occasionally mixing in whatever materials feel right.

my work explores color, intuition, nostalgia, playful symbolism, and the strange beauty that plops itself right between my dreams and reality.

here you'll find original paintings, fine art prints, and future collections from my studio.

i'm so glad you're here.
