About the Artist
Martha is a self-taught artist who has spent time practicing in the creative realms of photography, paper design, digital branding, and mixed mediums, gathering over 15 years of experience in various expressions of art.
As she has narrowed in on acrylic work, she currently spends most of her time in the areas of abstract and landscape art, in preferred palettes of earth tones and natural hues. She gains inspiration through everyday moments - relationships, Biblical themes, current reads, seasons of wrestling, and stories of hope.
Her work is freeform and heavy in texture, with layered mediums that bring a complexity and unique depth to each piece.
From Martha
It has remained true in each season of my life that I have found deep joy in creating.
Be it making a meal, setting a place where friends can gather, cutting a bouquet from the yard, or sitting down to paint, these are all opportunities to serve as a co-laborer in creating something meaningful alongside our Maker.
When we join God in making something of beauty or expression, we allow others a glimpse into His love, and it is in these humble offerings that we are given the chance to also extend hope, connection, and the much needed reminder in this world that He is always bringing light into the darkest corners, beauty into the brokenness, and hope from the pits of despair.
“Behold, [He is] making all things new.”
When I'm not in the greenhouse-turned-art-shed with a baby on my hip, you will find me schooling with the "big" boys, drinking another cup of coffee, cooking in the kitchen, going on family walks, listening to music, or - if all the stars align - with a book and a journal soaking up a moment of silence. :)
The support & encouragement in this space has been nothing short of a gift. Truly so grateful for the chance to be fanning this flame of desire to create something in which you also may find meaning, beauty, and connection.
Thank you for stopping by!
