A self-taught artist, Marti has been painting for over a decade and while she first started with watercolor, it was her discovery of water-soluble oil that finally clicked. “It opened a whole new world for me. I decided the best thing for me to do was challenge myself and try new things. I’m having a blast!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, Marti is known for her life-like paintings of animals, and her ability to capture emotion in her subject. She learned early on that, with animals, it’s easier to paint from a photograph and she always starts with the eye first. “If I can capture those eyes, the rest just seems to flow. The hardest piece I ever did, was a gorilla that had been in captivity. The eyes caught me because they were sad and empty, I had to cover them to paint the rest. The eyes say so much and reveal everything.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore recently, Marti has begun branching out to new subject matter and shifting her focus to portraiture. “People are fascinating because they’re so expressive... can I capture the essence of that person on canvas with just a brush and paint?” When it comes to commissions, Marti makes sure the client is involved throughout the entire process. Every day she works on the painting, she will send pictures and ask for feedback to make sure they are pleased with the final product. In fact, she likes to paint celebrities to showcase her artistic skills and ability to accurately paint her subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith two upcoming art shows in September and October, Marti is revving up for exciting new series of work. She plans to continue painting all that is wild and free and embrace her artistic motto: “sharing the beauty of the world, one painting at a time. That’s what I am trying to do.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:
