artist's info
I do portraits of people, pets or homes, reproductions of Master's works,
my own original artwork as well as fabric art, murals and photography.
I consider this website to be my portfolio. Most of my artwork is commissioned
and therefore a lot of what you see on this site will not be for sale.
But, I do think the ability to see a body of work better enables you to
make a decision regarding the purchase of something for yourself.
Most of my photographs, however, are for sale.
To commission an art piece or to purchase anything from this website,
please contact me through my email address. jmartkt@yahoo.com
The "artwork details" page lists sizes, medium and any other
pertinent information about all artwork that is for sale.
I work in oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, mixed media and
photography (mostly computer altered images), besides fabric.
None of my pictures or texts may be used or published
without my explicit written permission.
All the artwork is copyrighted.
THANK YOU
I am a 63 year old artist. I believe that ART is not a thing. It is a way of life and it is part of my entire life. I do have a Master's Degree in Fine Art, but long before I got that, everything that I did, I did with the eyes and soul of an artist.
I am a minister's wife. Probably not your typical minister's wife...I believe in a lot that the minister does not, and sometimes don't believe a lot that the minister does believe. But we have been married for 43 years and our marriage is far more open and honest than most. We are connected on some level that I can not explain and can not do without. We do call it love.
I am a mother of two wonderful, intelligent, compassionate and loving, besides beautiful, girls. They have grown up to be my best friends, and I thank them dearly for that.
I am also a grandmother and I hope my grandchildren will always remain the sunshine in my life.
Their names are Arianna, Ayden, Ashtyn and Ayvre.
They call me Bama, another name and one of my favorites!
I am a perpetual student, seeker, soul-searcher, scrutinizer and scrounger, who is always skeptical, sensual and spontaneous and almost-never submissive!
