Bio: A humble
artist, Marty has been painting successfully since
the age of twelve, when he began “doodling” on his
schoolwork, to the dismay of the Nuns. The Nuns
annoyance at Marty’s
endeavor at “extra credit” never unraveled his
determination to “fine tune” his artistic abilities,
and develop his own style of dry brush watercolor.
Marty continued developing his skills beyond high
school in Cheyenne, Wyoming without art classes.
After returning from his first enlistment with the
service, he worked, painted and sold his paintings
on weekends at art shows, while attending
Physician’s Assistant School in Dallas, Texas.
Jack-of-all-trades, and master of most, Marty
continued to paint while he worked for forty-three
years as a PA, twenty two years in the Naval
Reserve, and ran his own Gallery frame shop for the
last seventeen years. His art has been publicized in
Texas, Wyoming, Indiana, Illinois and New Mexico off
and on for the last sixty years and has had exhibit
shows in Indianapolis, Indiana and Paris Illinois.
At Present Marty is relaxing in to a different style
of life, painting and framing while teaching
watercolor classes in his Art Gallery, Frame shop
with his wife of nineteen years, Debi. He spends a
great deal of time encouraging and supporting other
artist and displays their work in his gallery. Marty
is also a member of the Wabash Valley Art Guild and
Arts Illiana. |
