BIOGRAPHY

Discovering the joys of an art practice in 2003, after a long public service career, Martha works in mixed media, printmaking and encaustics. She loves to create using texture, colour and shape, often in ways that are abstract or non-objective, but always working intuitively, letting the art happen.

​

Martha has exhibited with the Ottawa Mixed Media Association (OMMA). Her prints have been juried into International Print shows at the Ottawa School of Art, in Hong Kong and Cuba. Over many year, Martha was part of a Christmas Boutique to raise funds for the Hospice at May Court. Her work has been displayed at the Crichton St Gallery and, for ten years, she was an associate at Galerie Old Chelsea, where she still offers a few small works and her popular art cards. In recent years, Martha has exhibited in the New Edinburgh Studio Tour.

 

Martha loves to be a weekly volunteer with the art program at Hospice Care Ottawa.  She has also given workshops and demonstrations, sharing her passion with encaustics and acrylics and mixed media.
