about
welcome to the world of maddie gabhart! i am a designer, photographer, and occasional madwoman. i started by running through kentucky hills in bare feet and clip on earrings. i haven’t stopped running since. i’ve always known i wanted to make things, i just couldn’t pick what. so i didn’t.
i illustrate my stories of whimsy, design clothing and books, and photograph pretty things. but I started all of this by drawing in creek beds while i had more bug bites than teeth. my hands are covered in graphite more often than dirt now. my eyes are in a viewfinder, my nose is in a book, and my head is in the clouds.
now hailing from the heart of columbus, ohio, i weave stories of enchantment and intrigue into a tapestry of illustration, photography, and the written word. my work seeks to celebrate the extraordinary found within the everyday, and is a testament to the boundless creativity that flows from chaos.
step into the realm of my most recent endeavor, the maximalist tarot: clarity in chaos. the clothing collection (and soon to be full tarot deck) features intricate designs where the wild and the gentle come together to offer insights into the human experience. join us on this enchanting journey as we celebrate chaos and find hidden threads of clarity.
