About

photo by Gracie Byrd Jones Photography

I'm Madison Popkess, an artist based in Austin, Texas. Focusing on watercolor landscapes and architectural drawings, my art is an attempt to both elevate and anchor spaces by acting as a reminder of what is true and beautiful. 

My Grandma, who is an artist herself, taught me how to paint with watercolors at her kitchen table a little girl and the love of painting just stuck for me. 

That remained true throughout college when I was studying entrepreneurship and simultaneously working for other female entrepreneurs and artists. 

I'm so thankful for the ability to use all that I've learned to pursue this dream of mine, while living with my husband, Wes, here in the heart of Texas. 

Here, you'll find my current collection of original paintings and drawings available as well as small collections of hand painted flatlay styling surfaces and backdrops. You'll also be able to contact me with inquiries about commissioned watercolors! I love creating custom watercolor landscapes, venue illustrations, and even personalized gifts for your loved ones or clients.
