Artist Statement:
Maddy started her creative journey as a special effects make-up artist and worked on small local horror films. Since then, she has expanded her creativity to other areas like painting, mixed media art, costuming, and writing.
Her work explores the connections between space, nature, and the macabre. She enjoys incorporating animal bones and antiques into her art, allowing them to tell a new story.
When she isn’t working on a creative project, she is a busy graduate student who also enjoys watching horror movies and hiking with her dog.

FAQ’s
for Artists
what is the full timeline of the artist program?
The first portion consists of the Creation period: You have 1-2 months to complete all three floats. Then it depends on how soon or far away your scheduled exhibition is as to when your float inspired piece needs to be complete. As long as it is finished by the day scheduled to install your work, all is well.
The second portion consists of the Exhibition period: 1 month in duration. This month is agreed upon between you and Lost in Float.
do i need to use all three floats?
If you have never floated before, then ideally yes. Your mind and body need some time to acclimate to the environment of floating, so it generally can take 2-3 floats before a float is super relaxing, inspiring, and easy to drop into the creative space. One of the purposes of the artist program is for the artist to create an art piece inspired by their float experiences, so we want you to get the opportunity to fully relax and tap into your creativity.
If you have floated before, how many floats you need to complete before your exhibition will be up to Darian’s discretion based on how long ago your last float was and how many times you have floated in total.
Are there any size or media requirements?
There are no size or media requirements at Lost in Float. However, works created on paper must be properly matted and fixed as our shop can get quite humid. Works created with wet media need to be fully dried before installation.
How many pieces does the gallery hold?
It depends on exact dimensions, but around 10 larger pieces, around 15 medium pieces, or around 20 smaller pieces. We recommend visiting the shop to see the Gallery space and get a feel for what you think can fit and how you want to display your work.
How will i hang my artwork?
Lost in Float’s Gallery space is equipped with vertical wires with adjustable hooks. Artworks should be prepared for installation prior to arrival with back wiring, or sawtooth hangers, D-rings, etc.
What is your commission rate?
None. That being said, it is the artist’s responsibility to handle any and all sales directly with interested parties. Lost in Float in not involved in any selling of your artwork. Please provide contact information we can easily share with potential buyers (business cards preferred, but not necessary).
What about the original Float inspired piece?
It will be included in your exhibition for the duration of the month agreed upon between you and Lost in Float. After the completion of your exhibition, the original float inspired piece will belong to Lost in Float to be hung and appreciated by customers for years to come.
Do I have to sign a contract?
Yes, there is a basic contract involved, but it’s short and easy.
What is your transport policy?
The Artist is completely responsible for all transportation of gallery pieces to and from Lost in Float.
