She leads her henna and sound healing business with a strong focus on accessibility for disabled and neurodivergent communities, as she is part of both herself.
Her illustration and fine art practices celebrate the delight of pigeons, her favorite special interest. “They are symbols of resilience and perseverance, and they can get just so round and fluffy,” she says. Madalina often uses community building, storytelling, sculpture, and illustration to shift public perception and advocate for these, often overlooked, birds.

Palomacy is a volunteer-powered, donation-funded, foster-based nonprofit rescue located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California saving the lives of domestic (unreleasable) pigeons and doves. We provide rescue, vet care, foster homes and adoptions. Since 2007, Palomacy has placed more than 3,000 birds and helped countless others through coaching, education and referral. While our organization hatched as a local effort to help pigeons and doves in the San Francisco Bay Area, the need for what we do is unlimited. We are one of the only organizations in the world (and possibly the first) completely dedicated to rescuing, rehabbing and rehoming the lost, injured, or displaced pigeon and dove survivors of exploitative businesses, hobbies and sports. With your support, we rescue in Northern California and help birds from all over the world through our Palomacy Help Group.

Palomacy Pigeon & Dove Adoptions saves lives by closing the deadly gap in the animal welfare community that for too long has endangered and abandoned domestic pigeons and doves. Learn more at www.PigeonRescue.org.
