As a painter, Martha admires the Fauves with their bold lines and outlines, bright colors, and moody scenes. She also finds interest in works made by the post-impressionists. Much of her work shows her devotion to line, color and stylistic paint application. Although her subjects vary, she finds botanicals and their fragile petals and endless organic shapes a favorite challenge. Her floral gardens and wooded trails supply her with a variety of natural and seasonal subjects.

Martha earned a B.A. in Studio Art with a concentration in painting from UNH, along with a certificate to teach art in K-12 in the State of New Hampshire. She has held two positions in galleries at academic institutions and served as reference and circulation staff at an academic art library. She exhibits her work in local galleries and she has been a juried member of the New Hampshire Art Association since 2022. Additionally, she has taken numerous classes and workshops in the arts and comes from a family of practicing artists.
