About Me
I am Madeline Neuls (Alese)

Alese (Madeline Neuls) is a mix media flatwork artist born and based in Houston, Tx. She has been creating art since before the age of two years old and has used art as means for expressing her deepest thoughts, feelings, and desires. She was mainly self-taught before starting her academic career at Sam Houston State University. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in December of 2024. She plans to pursue a career in art as well as share her work through artist calls and social media.
Artist Statement
I've been an artist since she was 18 months old, and her work has consistently used her craft to express who she is, who she was, and everything I will ever be. The influences of nature, mental health, womanhood, and southern/Texas heritage come together through work of a variety of media to tell my story. Each piece is a reflection, a journal entry, a dream, something personal to share with the world for someone else to understand and relate to. With my work, I pray that I represent the experience of not only myself, but for other black women, and people who resonate with and love my work.
