“Painting took me by surprise when I was living in Vancouver, British Columbia. I took a half-day intuitive painting workshop and afterward I had a creative burst. I use acrylic paint and what seems most insistent to me is color. I say yes to color at every turn. My paintings come from the realm of intuitive flash; I layer paint until I feel a pulsation and images start to appear. It’s always a mysterious process, and when I am painting I flow into a deeply peaceful place that’s beyond thought.“

Martha’s paintings have been exhibited in Austin and Vancouver, B.C., and are in private collections throughout the U.S., as well as in Canada, Asia, and Australia.

She lives in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.
