In our modern era of digital media, there are endless possibilities for producing imagery of any kind.

Maddy, meticulously cutting and pasting, is indifferent to all that. As a child, colouring books full of characters caught still in motion were a retreat from the outside world to an inner sanctuary of unfettered imagination where play, adventure, and the joyful act of colouring and mark making were intertwined. As an artist, this place inspires him to delve deeper, deconstructing and transforming the material into the creation of new work, equally exuberant and uniquely contemporary.

Keith holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with distinction from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston.  Maddy was awarded a Fellowship in 2022 from the Massachusetts Cultural Council; the 2019 People’s Choice Award, Young Masters Art Prize at Cynthia Corbett Gallery, London, U.K.; was a 2017 grant recipient from the Artist’s Resource Trust; and received a 2016 Finalist award   from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.  He has been recognized by the International Art Critics Association for the exhibit Surrounded at the Brickbottom Gallery in Somerville, MA, in which he both participated and co-curated.  He works out of the historic Fenway Studios, Boston, MA and has exhibited extensively in the greater Boston area and throughout New England, and is in private collections globally, including Fidelity Investments and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
