Martina Munn – Artist
Martina is delighted to show her art work with some very talented fellow Worcestershire artists at the amazing Henry Sandon Hall, which is nestled between the famous Worcestershire Porcelain museum and the lovely “Good Roots” cafe. An ideal location to show you an array of art Martina has been working on since she last showed her work at Worcestershire Open Studios.
Martina has a number of paintings which she created as a series, which will sit nicely side by side and some stand alone pieces as well. She works mainly in acrylic and paint either on board or canvas. Martina enjoys acrylics due it’s versatility and the fact it dries rather quickly. She says “this suits her style of painting, which is naive and painterly.” Martina tends to depict every day scenes, objects or people in a humorous way and enjoy experimenting with colour combinations, textures and patterns. She uses bold outlines, which at times give the artwork a somewhat cartoonish style. Martina is a self taught artist and although she has not painted on a regular basis for very long, she has already sold many of my artworks in various galleries and through Instagram.
Martina’s main influences come through observations, a love of fashion, interiors, antiques, people, animals, photography, film and folk art. They all inspire her a great deal and will reflect in her work. Where she is able Martina recycles good quality wooden frames and paints them in beautiful chalk paints and wax such as Annie Sloan, to compliment the art work. If the frame is an original vintage or antique, she often does very little to it and lets it speak for itself. This is Martina’s way of supporting to prevent further landfill and the transformation gives her great joy. Martina says “It would be delightful to see as many people and possibly their dogs (which are welcome too) at Henry Sandon Hall during Worcestershire Open Studios.”
This exhibition is part of the Worcestershire Open Studios Art Week. For more information about Martina’s exhibition please click here.
