Madison Safer is an illustrator who is happiest in a forest full of mushrooms. Their work is often centered around themes of nostalgia, home, and the quiet woods of New England. She is inspired by Russian folk art, Jewish paper cuttings, quilt patterns, and the warmth of a fire after a very cold day. When they are not napping or drawing, Madison is best found drinking tea, practicing her challah braid, or stealing flowers. Madison uses watercolor, gouache, and colored pencils to create rich, textured images reminiscent of vintage children’s books.
