I’m Maddy, a creative based in Auckland, New Zealand. Studio Mars was created a few years ago to share my creative projects and has evolved over time through different mediums.

I have grown up painting and with a strong love of art, however took some time away from painting in my early twenties while I travelled and moved around. I re-discovered my love of painting once my husband and I were settled in our own home and I haven’t stopped ever since. Recently, my work has developed to include sculptural wall pieces. I created my first ‘Drunken Disco Ball’ for my daughter Lennox’s bedroom and fell in love with how the light reflected around her space. I have since been exploring this new direction my artwork has taken me in and am so pleased to be able to share it.

I also have a Diploma in Interior Design and have worked professionally in residential interior design throughout my career. Creating spaces that feel like home is a passion of mine, which I have explored through both work and our own personal renovation. Please feel free to contact me for any design work.
