ARTISTIC STATEMENT
“Art for your soul”
I fall in love with every subject I choose to paint. During the process I create an atmosphere of oneness between the subject & me. My goal as an artist is to create art for your soul and to capture the spirit of the animal on canvas. My desire is to evoke emotions that hopefully take the viewers breath away.

BIOGRAPHY
Marti started out as a pet portrait artist. She has sold 98 paintings in 3 years in North America & in Europe. Even though she loved immortalizing her clients pets as an everlasting memory she had to follow her heart and explore mixed media and larger formats. Her art work now is a fusion of realism and abstract. She loves creating an atmosphere of elegance and beauty for people’s homes and office spaces.
