Prior to joining Damian at the Aspen Art Gallery, Madeleine had an illustrious career as a professional dancer performing in classical and contemporary dance companies around the United States. At a very young age, Madeleine fostered a profound love for the arts.  From dance, music and theater to sculpting, painting, poetry and film; Madeleine has designed her life to be centered around the creation and curation of world-class art.

Originally from South Dakota, Madeleine has been working and performing in Aspen since 2015.  In addition to her career at Aspen Art Gallery, Madeleine tours the country creating new choreographic works, directing abstract contemporary dance films & leading set design installations for professional dance companies and university dance programs. She is the founder and artistic director of South Dakota Ballet (South Dakota's only professional dance company). 

 Madeleine was honored by the City of Aspen as 1 of 12 Aspen artists invited to join the 2024 Inaugural Aspen Cultural Vibrancy Fellowship. Her work is currently on display at the Redbrick Center for the Arts. 

Madeleine is incredibly passionate about welcoming new and returning clients to the Aspen Art Gallery. Her appreciation for world-class art experiences extends beyond her work in the world of performing arts. She is thrilled to introduce guests to paintings and sculptures that have the unlimited potential for providing joy and inspiration for decades to come.
