Born In Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Maddylane (Madeleine Langlois) is a Hudson local artist, décor designer, columnist and photographer…with many creative ventures to her credit over the span of her creative career.

With a unique style of her own, Maddy is the Canadian forerunner for the MIY (make it yourself) movement.

With a keen eye for photography and product merchandising, Maddy enjoys taking all the stylish pictures for her MIY articles. Her up-to-date and imaginative ideas are due to her combined backgrounds both as a fashion and giftware designer, which have created her trademark and distinctive style.

And when Maddy is not making things, her passion is enjoying nature, Kayaking and photography.

Her love for Canada is illustrate in her every landscape capture.
