Artist’s Bio

"I adore cats and animals, it's as simple as that", says Madeleine.

In the seventies she worked as a fibre artist. BC Tel, the Bank of Montreal and Dominion Construction commissioned her large scale works.

She branched into jewellery-making in 1981. Two years later she opened her Neat Things studio shop in West Vancouver, offering workshops and selling her designs.

She closed her shop in 1995 and moved production to her Ambleside home.

Now, she's content to spend time with her cats - pins, earrings and necklaces which are hand crafted in sterling silver - which are sold in galleries and specialty shops across Canada
