I started this piece a long time ago as a live painting for an event at Navy Pier. Now I’m just sitting with it and thinking about what I actually want to create on here.
Inside my cluttered studio, with a cameo by Freddie.
Welcome to my Art Journal
Hello and welcome to my art journal.
I created this space to bring you closer to my world — not just the finished paintings, but everything behind them. Here, I’ll be sharing art collecting tips, thoughts on choosing the right print, sneak peeks of work in progress, updates on upcoming shows, and a few personal reflections along the way.
Whether you’re a longtime collector, an art lover, or just curious about the process, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s stay connected and keep creating.
Oh—and yes, that’s Boomastic Side Eye giving you a little attitude as you scroll in. Don’t take it personally. That side-eye says, “Welcome... but don’t get weird.” 😏 Also if you know me, you know that I am totally weird!
With love (and a raised brow),
—Martha

Current Situation
Currently working on Super Cousins, a mixed media, ink, acrylic, Italian pigments, with a handmade frame. This scene is from a photo of my cousin Amy, sister Elizabeth and me in the lil stroller on our way to save the world.
