Artist’s Bio:
Madge Evers (b. 1961, Norwalk, CT) explores the transformative cycles of dormancy, decay, and ecstatic growth in plant life. Her work combines alternative photography, mushroom spores, painting, and bookmaking to depict landscape details and imagined flora.

Her work has been exhibited at the New Britain Museum of American Art (CT), Danforth Museum of Art (Framingham, MA), Brattleboro Museum and Art Center (VT), and the Zero Art Fair (New York, NY), among others. In 2024, she curated and exhibited in the group show Biomorph at Split Level Gallery (Northampton, MA) and presented her third solo show at ECA Gallery (Easthampton, MA).
Recent artist residencies include Chautauqua Arts (2024), Cill Rialaig (Kerry, Ireland, 2023), Oak Spring Garden Foundation (Upperville, VA, 2023), Kinney Center for Interdisciplinary Renaissance Studies at UMass Amherst (2022), and Eastern Frontier Educational Foundation (Jonesport, ME, 2022). Evers was a Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellowship Finalist in Photography (2021) and made the Photolucida Critical Mass top 200 (2019).
