A Tribute to Madeleine Andree Matter
"Madreema stands for Madeleine Andree Matter, my late mother born in 1925  in Alsace, France and deceized in 2009. Growing up in rural Alsace on the verge of WWII, she lived the simple life of a housewife and a maid, without access to proper education due to her gender, rural upbringing, and the Nazi occupation. She gave life to three sons, pushed for her children to be educated as she saw only education as a way to progress in society. Even though her understanding of the Arts was minimal, it was central to her that Culture and the Arts be a real part of education. We showed an amazing curiosity and openness for all forms of art."
