Though mostly realistic, her artwork floats into other realms as she works to develop her style and technical skills. Using personal experiences and memories, Martin works to reflect a part of herself in everything she does.
Martin’s love of the Arts also includes art history courses, visiting art museums and reading books on her favorite artists.
“The Arts have not only shaped my past, but they will shape my future as I continue to grow and fine-tune my skills and knowledge,” she said.
Martin has proudly exhibited her work in the All-Stars Exhibit for the past two years and recently received a 2019 Scholastic Arts and Writing Gold Key for her work “Licking Your Wounds”.
