Ramsey County Historical Society welcomes Rubinski Works, aka Madison Holler, for an evening of conversation on her artwork. Madison’s work centers around beautiful jewelry that honors her Anishinaabe ancestry.

“Nature is a huge inspiration in my work, so my roots in central Minnesota and in northern Minnesota (near my cabin on rainy lake) are engrained in my work, always. From the landscape to the flora and fauna — these are my muses.”

Conversation moderated by Youa Vang.

About Madison Holler:

Madison R. Holler is the artist behind Rubinski Works, operating on Wahpekute + Anishinaabewaki Land (Central Minnesota).

One-of-a-kind works are created by Madi with glass and metal seed beads on waxed thread. She also practices metal smithing techniques to construct abstract precious metal components for her work.

Madison’s work explores the bridge between traditional craft and modern art practices. Her collections provide commentary on her shared Dutch, Scandinavian, and Anishinaabe heritage, with an emphasis on storytelling and folklore.

Madison has a vocational background in photography and graphic design, as well as experience in fine art practices, such as ceramics, printmaking, painting, and illustration.
