About Me

Hey there!
I'm Maddie Hope, the artist behind Made by Mads. I'm currently a student at Maryville College, where I am seeking a degree in Art with a focus in painting. I've been creating art for as long as I can remember, first as an emotional outlet and now as both a personal practice and a growing small business!
I've been creating pet portrait commissions for years, and I've always loved seeing how art can make people feel connected to something they love. More recently, I have decided to branch off into the world of press-on nails as well! Whether it's capturing a beloved furry friend on canvas or creating a set of nails that lets someone express their personality, I love turning ideas into something meaningful and personal. Seeing the joy, excitement, and emotions my work brings to others reminds me why I create in the first place. To me, art is about more than just the finished product; it's about the memories, confidence, and connections that come with it.
