Your Passion Is Not Just a Pastime E9
More Details, Please podcast hosts Emmanuel and Angela Williams welcome artist Laura Madden into the studio to talk about turning her passion into a profitable business.
Making beautiful pieces of art is no longer just a pastime for Laura Madden. When she decided to pursue her art professionally, Laura set up ReFashioned Art, a sustainable business specializing in abstract upcycled artwork using repurposed materials. Her purpose is to create more style with less waste. Laura chats to the Williams about unlocking confidence and courage when she decided to turn her love of creating beautiful things into a thriving business.
Laura Madden is an artist and sustainable fashion advocate. In 2019 she decided to pursue her art professionally and created ReFashioned Art.
Her work is modern, abstract art made using reclaimed materials to align with her mission of merging style + sustainability, and helping people live a stylish lifestyle while lowering their environmental impact. The ReFashioned Art mission statement is to Create More Style. Less Waste.
Madden prides herself on helping art collectors & designers pick the perfect piece to add a fashionable edge to their walls, which is why she started creating art in the 1st place- to feel like she was living in a luxury home of her own.
She collects unwanted art- salvaged canvases, antique and vintage frames, discarded building materials, paints- to create each one of a kind piece of ReFashioned Art. She has a large collection of available art, and is available for commissions.
ReFashioned Art has been featured in publications Modern Luxury Scottsdale, Iconic Life, So Scottsdale, Stroll Paradise Valley, Stroll Biltmore, The Redbook, Frontdoors, Fabulous AZ, Green Living, Arizona Foothills, Eluxe, and TV networks Fox 10 Phoenix, AZTV Channel 7, Arizona Midday Channel 12, Arizona’s Family Channel GMAZ 3, ABC 15 Arizona, and Jaime’s Local Love.
