About the Instructor

Madeline Menkes received her BFA in Painting with a Concentration in Nature, Culture, and Sustainability Studies at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her studies landed her in Providence, where she currently resides as a working artist. Her background in representational oil painting has since evolved to become a practice based on community, the definition of home, and the ecology we impact every day. Whether in painting, drawing, or sculpture: craft, detail, and anatomy have always maintained a special interest in her process. In Providence, she murals, teaches, and maintains her personal practice whenever the opportunity arises.
