AMA: association of midland artists

Maddie Webb is a Warwickshire-based contemporary fine artist whose work explores the quiet tension between presence and absence, light and shadow, memory and the unknown. Through atmospheric oil paintings, she creates landscapes that exist between reality and abstraction, evoking a sense of waiting, longing, and transformation. Her work invites the viewer to pause and reflect, offering a space where emotion and place intertwine.
Maddie’s practice is deeply rooted in the exploration of liminal spaces—those fleeting, transitional moments where time seems to stand still. Inspired by remote landscapes, shifting horizons, and the ephemeral nature of light, she seeks to capture the feeling of a place rather than its exact form. By layering glazes and blending tonal shifts, she creates depth and ambiguity, allowing each composition to unfold slowly, revealing something new with every viewing.
Her paintings are not just representations of landscapes but reflections of emotional states—solitude, contemplation, and quiet transformation. The interplay between stillness and movement in her work mirrors the transient nature of memory and experience. Each piece is intentionally open-ended, inviting the viewer to find their own meaning, whether through nostalgia, an imagined journey, or a quiet moment of introspection.
Through her evolving body of work, Maddie continues to explore the landscapes we inhabit, both physically and internally. Her paintings serve as windows into spaces that exist beyond the tangible, where light dissolves into shadow, and the horizon is both a destination and a question.
