Marti loves colors like that; unnamed, even undiscovered. Although she also works in printmaking, ceramics, pastels, and charcoal sketches, it’s acrylics she loves most. With acrylics, one can blend together other people’s colors into one’s own, new colors that swirl on the pallette like the painterly brushstrokes of Van Gogh, or like the curling clouds of dust kicked up by hooves at a rodeo. Both Van Gogh and the rodeo remind Marti of her place of origin, North Dakota: she came to cherish the one while earning her Bachelor of Science in the Visual Arts at North Dakota State University in Fargo, came to cherish the other as an enduring subject for her paintings. Whether one of her works captures a personality in portraiture, or steals a behindthescenes glimpse at the American West, all of her paintings convey her passion for discovery.
