The Ink Shop is sad to share the news that Fred Madden, Professor of English, photographer,  and long-time member of the Ink Shop Printmaking Center has died peacefully on December 6, 2021.

Fred was a multi-talented and creative artist. Visitors to the Ink Shop gravitate immediately to his work. Consistently brilliant and beautiful, Fred’s imagery is a digital form of impressionism that is both reflective and delightful. 

Fred has been a wonderful friend who has stepped up to help out in many ways. Helping annually with the Ithaca Artists Market with his humor and helping hands. Without fan-fare and with a warm heart, he made sure we knew his appreciation for Ink Shop and that appreciation is mutual.  He and his wife Taf have been the most incredible supporters of the Ink Shop for which we are forever grateful. 

We’ve lost a good friend and a beautiful light.
