Martha Rich // Artist
Born in Bangor, Maine, Martha Rich lived the typical suburban life, her bio says, "until she followed her husband to Los Angeles where, merely brusque of a picket debate and ii.5 children her average American life unraveled. To cope with divorce, fate lead her to a form taught by painters and brothers Rob and Christian Clayton. They persuaded her to quit the pantyhose, corporate earth, leave her homo resource chore at Universal Studios behind and become an artist full-time. She graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena".
Now living in Philidelphia, Martha'south art has been in galleries all over the globe and she does commercial piece of work for magazines, books and fifty-fifty music videos! I beloved Martha's story as much as I love her paintings. In her artists statement, she says:
"I am giving myself permission to make useless fine art, and by useless I mean driven past impracticality, that is informed by moments quietly noticed and non by what is shouted. What is noticed now has been built upon what was noticed before…insignificant moments that accumulate and become something significant."
Reading this argument is like getting a pass from the instructor that says, "Relax. Merely create."
What I love almost almost Martha's art is that her paintings feel both satisfying graphically, and have a social commentary that nosotros can relate to. Funny + colorful yet evoking a conversation. She'southward a genius.
