Madison Branch

Madison Branch is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Art And Art History at the University of Texas at Tyler. They hold a B.F.A., and dual M.A./M.F.A. degrees from the same institution. Their research focuses on exploring identity through assemblages of visual elements, including fabric collages, figural structures, and digital manipulation, which they translate into oil paintings, drawings, and watercolors. The work emphasizes the fluidity of identity as a mosaic of experiences and interactions between human and non-human elements.

Education:

• B.F.A., University of Texas at Tyler
• M.A./M.F.A., University of Texas at Tyler

Research Focus: Madison’s practice interrogates the interplay between physical and mental spaces, using layered translations of source materials to reflect how environments and experiences reshape identity. The breakdown of boundaries between compositional elements mirrors the ever-evolving nature of selfhood. Techniques include photography, digital editing, and traditional oil painting, reimagined into freer mediums like watercolor.
