Madi is an artist and educator whose practice is rooted in painting and drawing, with a sustained interest in the limits of legibility. Her recent work examines how meaning takes shape through embodied vision, memory, and time—drawing on physiological phenomena that disrupt stable perception, such as phosphenes, afterimages, and light adaptation, as well as ways of knowing that exceed the empirical, including intuition, hallucination, and divination. She earned a BAS with honors in Studio Art from Dartmouth College in 2019 and an MS in Education from Johns Hopkins University in 2021. She has taught artists of all ages across O‘ahu and currently teaches at Wai‘anae High School, FishSchool Honolulu, and the Honolulu Museum of Art School. Her work is concerned with ways of seeing. She is currently pursuing an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
