Painting

As a painter, Martha is an abstract sensualist who
articulates passion for color and oil paint. She loves
exploring the ability to thin oil paint into a glaze and
build up density with bold strokes. She is not shy about
her ability to create spontaneous designs. She works instinctually with the paint, often continuously editing. Her paintings are not considered finished until she is satisfied.
