    I have known Madi since she moved to Cali and can attest to her many talents, not only as a knitter and felt artist , but as a fine cook , a fine painter, musician and loyal friend. Rest assured that any piece you get from her is infused with a love for all art , truth and beauty.

    Madi never ceases to amaze me. Here are some things she has, characteristically, left out of her website bio:
    I have been her regular bassist for several years, now. I had no idea when I met Madi as a uniquely talented (and credentialed) pianist (classical, jazz, Latin, misc. international–not to mention 13 years as conductors’ assist. and rehearsal pianist for the Geneva Opera, and many ‘old world’ tours providing the music for the Geneva Ballet) and a vocalist (in four languages–even had her own fabulous cabaret in Switzerland), that she was also talented at knitting! Her creations are marvellous. And she can improvise without a pattern, just like she does at the piano without a score.
    I also found out she is a trained and highly imaginitive painter, with a reputation in Europe and in the San Francisco Bay Area.
    She really needs to get to work on at least two more websites–or more! Who knows what else she can do? GO MADI!

    Madi is an incredible busy woman and a very talented artist, everything she does she does it with the love she has for art and the love she has for people.
    thumbs up on the new designs Madi!
    Love ya!
