Artist Spotlight: Madison Holler of Rubinski Works – Where Tradition Meets Modern Craft
At Atlas Wood Company, we love celebrating artists who bring unique stories, culture, and creativity to life through their craft. Today, we’re proud to highlight the incredibly talented Madison Holler, the artist behind Rubinski Works. Her beadwork and metalsmithing blend heritage and modern design in ways that captivate and inspire.
A Journey Rooted in Tradition
Madison’s artistic journey began with the strong influence of her family, a lineage rich in craft and creativity. From a young age, she learned beadwork from the elders in her family, a skill that became her creative foundation. After earning her BFA and spending several years as a graphic designer and photographer, Madison made the decision to go full-time with her passion—beadwork and metalsmithing through Rubinski Works.
Her journey reflects a deep connection to both family and culture, making her work not only an artistic pursuit but a continuation of generational storytelling.
A Style Inspired by Heritage and Nature
Madison’s art draws heavily from her Anishinaabe, Dutch, and Scandinavian roots. She seamlessly blends historical references and folklore with modern design, creating pieces that feel both timeless and contemporary. Inspired by flora and fauna, her work often explores themes of ecology and how we can become better stewards of the land and its inhabitants.
Collaborative Art: Her Most Meaningful Creations
When asked about her favorite pieces, Madison highlights those made in collaboration with her Nokomis (grandmother) and other members of her community. These pieces hold deep meaning, as they represent the power of shared creativity and collective stories. For Madison, there’s no better way to create art than with others by her side.
