Outdoor/studio painter in oil and watercolour

Mary Martin has been a professional painter for over forty years, working with equal facility in oil and watercolour.  An academic background in science, an enduring love of the rural landscape, and an abiding fascination with the transformational power of light have informed her work.  An enthusiastic plein-air painter, she also enjoys the more considered approach possible in the studio, and strives in her work to combine the freshness of one with the careful thought of the other.  Her paintings are evocations of time and place  with a special attention to light that make them instantly recognizable to her many devotees.
