Maddie Michael is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, photographer, and teaching artist based in Utah. Her work spans fine art, photography, mural design, visual identity, web design, illustration, and private instruction, united by a deep appreciation for thoughtful craftsmanship and authentic storytelling.
Raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, Maddie has been immersed in the creative process from an early age. Surrounded by artists, makers, and entrepreneurs, she developed a lifelong curiosity for creating - filling sketchbooks, painting, sewing, designing, and exploring new mediums whenever possible. That foundation of encouragement and creative freedom continues to shape her approach today.
After graduating high school early, she pursued studies in fashion design, fine art, and psychology, while simultaneously developing her own creative practice.
Her work soon expanded beyond the studio, leading to participation in art shows, markets, and creative events throughout Utah, California, and online.
Today, her work moves fluidly between disciplines. She creates commissioned artwork and murals for private clients and interior designers, photographs weddings, families, and brands, develops websites and visual identities for businesses and creatives, illustrates books, and offers private art instruction across a range of mediums.
At the heart of her work is a belief that creativity should feel both intentional and approachable. Whether working with a student, a small business, or a design client, maddie strives to create an experience that is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in genuine connection.
Her studio is nestled in Utah's Wasatch Mountains, where days are spent creating among canvases, cameras, sewing machines, books, and an ever-evolving collection of works in progress.
Inspired by travel, nature, and everyday moments, her work reflects a balance of artistry, curiosity, and craftsmanship.
maddie believes art is more than a finished piece - it is a process of exploration, growth, and connection. Through every project, she seeks to create work that is meaningful, enduring, and deeply personal.
