Inspired by nature

Creating on canvas, silk and paper, Julie Mader has been transcribing the natural beauty and landmarks of northern Pennsylvania into art for over 25 years.  If you are seeking a special piece as unique as you - welcome.

Nature transcribed onto silk

Designed and painted in the PA Wilds

The PA Wilds is a rural region of Pennsylvania made up of 2.1 million acres of public land covering a 12 1/2 county area. Only 4% of the State's population lives within the boundaries of this region which boasts 2 million acres of State Game Lands, 29 State Parks and 16,000 miles of waterways. Julie Mader is a juried PA Wilds Maker and the work made at her in-home studio is sold online here and at the PA Wilds Marketplace.  ​

​All scarves are 100% silk, hand washable and intended to be enjoyed (not tucked away in a drawer).
 Julie's silk scarves are hand painted works of capturing her interpretation of the plants, places and rural experiences of living in the PA Wilds region.

Art to Live With

I love functional art, and Julie’s hand painted silk scarves are beautiful. The holiday Poinsettias are one of my favorites as I can wear them throughout the winter season or even use them in my holiday décor on a table or draped over a curtain or swag. I get many compliments and expressions of awe when I explain that my scarves are one-of-a-kind works of art! - Claudia S.  Pennsylvania

Meet the artist

​Daily walks with my dachshund Monty often includes the ground-level discoveries of spiderwebs, water tumbling and plants budding out. I geek out over the patterns of bark, sedimentary rocks, water ripples and the perfect symmetry of flowers, all of which can be found in my artwork.
