Hi, my name is Madi Longshore (she/her)! I am a freelance artist & designer currently living in Cincinnati OH, born & raised in rural Ontario. I have been running my project MOTEL777 since 2019, designing merchandise since 2016, and creating art since I could hold a pencil.

My work is inspired by my exploration of the natural world, my love of travelling, and the beauty of everyday things. A cute candy wrapper I found at the grocery store; a unique road sign; the feeling you get at a gas station at 1 am; a patch you picked up at a national park.

When I’m not making art, I would ideally be on a hike with friends; I am an avid enjoyer of the outdoors & outdoor sports. I love art of all kinds - almost all of the photography on my website was taken by myself!

I am inspired by my fellow artists, peers, & community. As an openly queer woman, I feel it is important to uplift the art & voices of marginalized communities. I occasionally use my art to fundraise for organizations that are important to me, & collaborate with friends to create something I couldn’t on my own.

I love designing merchandise, illustrating graphic-based designs, & drawing little critters! I also love collaborating with other artists & participating in fundraisers. If you are interested in working with me, or you have a project you think I’d be interested in, drop me a line!
