She participated in the first Chalk the Port event in 2017 at the encouragement of her boss and friend, Wendy Good - a local watercolor artist. Madelyn had recreated some of Wendy’s work on their gallery’s chalkboard sign, so the next step was to take it to a much larger scale. Madelyn participated in the two following events, each time recreating Wendy’s watercolor works depicting some of the beautiful scenes that make Kennebunkport a truly remarkable place to live.
