Who We Are

An active artist since 1990, Martha's training and art preparation goes all the way back to her 4th grade.  Her choice to be an artist was not hers, but her destiny. 

She spreads joy with her art with everyone who sees it.  She has sold art to people around the world.  Her art hangs in  businesses, restaurants and homes in Jamaica, the Philippines, Europe, South America, Asia and Australia, and nearly all 50 states of the U.S.A.!   

Investing in a piece of Martha's original art will not only bring you joy on a daily basis but will be a collectible work of art that will appreciate with value over the future years.  Her prints are on archival paper and are mounted and framed with care, a lasting treasure as your own or as a wonderful gift to any loved one.   Her note cards are still made by hand -- each image is hand cut, applied, hand-stamped with her logo and personally signed with the name of the piece and signature.  Truly a very wonderful buy that becomes a frameable piece of art.

Martha also enjoys recreating any story that is funny or inspiring into a painting...such as BASEMENT BICYCLE RIDERS or 64 PANCAKES.   If you have a story you'd like to see recreated in Martha's whimiscal style, please let her know.  Your story could be her next masterpiece!
