VM Fisk (Mads) was born and raised on a farm near the Blue Ridge Mountains of central Virginia. She studied painting and video art at California Institute of the Arts and sculpture at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Interdisciplinary artist Fisk explores shape, line and color using a wide range of materials and practices.

Fisk’s work offers a window into the ways she is working through, and working with, nuerodivergency. By combining various geometric forms with saturated color palettes, the artist evokes a wide array of cognitive maps tinted with emotion. These works trace out the pattern-making and connection-seeking tendencies of their creator’s mind, and draw attention to both a literally and figuratively skewed perspective inherent within the artwork.

Excluding her animals and family, Fisk’s favorite thing is watching a thunderstorm roll in, or a windy hay field, or watching a thunderstorm roll in over a windy hay field.
