Maddy Fusco

Maddy has a distinctive style with detailed linework, bright colors and repetitive patterns. Inspired by nature, animals and I Spy books, she depicts objects, characters and scenes grounded in reality but through an otherworldly and playful lens.

With experience working on editorials, album artwork, murals, coffee and beer labels, tattoos and posters, Maddy is a gifted collaborator.
