This week on Modern Home Mastermind with beSpoke Brokers, we sit down with modern artist and sustainability advocate Laura Madden. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Laura transforms reclaimed materials—like chef coats, fabric scraps, and even a torn duvet—into bold contemporary artwork. Discover how she champions circular design, the evolution of her artistic identity, and her belief that AI will never replace the soulful human hand in art.

🎨 From adaptive reuse to sculptural wall art, this episode is packed with insight into how beauty and sustainability can coexist in modern luxury homes.
