About Me

Hello, 

I'M Marty, you can call me "MartiMar"


Some rules are made to be broken. The trick is knowing which ones to break.

 As the director of a leading clinical research site in Kentucky, I’ve dedicated my 30-year nursing career to the rules of science. To the protocols and procedures. The meticulous charting. The necessary tedium of vaccine trials, like the ones for COVID-19. 

Those rules are sacred, because those rules save lives. 

But the rules of art? Those are mine to break. After attending an art workshop in 2017, I discovered a passion to create fine art. It began as play, but turned into much more. For me, art is a release. As soon as paint hits canvas, my stress melts away. Through the instinctual and impulsive strokes of my paintbrush, I find freedom. Creating is my escape…a way to refocus and restore my mind. 

When the pandemic hit, my team was selected as a trial site for one of the first COVID-19 vaccines. It has been the most important and challenging work of my life. Since then, my art has become more than just a passion. It has provided balance and a new calling. My art takes me further than my imagination and beyond what I think I am capable of—a place with no limitations. 

I sign my art “MartiMar.” Why? Well, because I can. I am the maker of the rules at MartiMar Art!  

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.



Inspiration

I find inspiration everywhere. In every person I meet, every vision I see and every sound I hear. 

Techniques

Acrylics, oils, charcoal, mixed media, texture, anything to create interest. Specializing in reactive art, a multi-step process using iron paint to achieve the natural beauty of rust.
