Martha Box Martha graduated from North Texas State (now University of North Texas) with a degree in Marketing. After a successful career in that field, She began painting. Her present commitment and success in painting is attributed to an inspiring range of teachers and mentors who have shared their vision with her. She is an impressionist painter who likes drawing, painting figures, and doing none-objective work. She uses shapes, vivid colors and texture to entertain and convey mystery. She likes to draw from live models, not trying to achieve a likeness but rather offering the viewer a variety of possible interpretations of her work. She experiments with various water mediums and textures on paper and canvas. She does not try to convey any deep messages or faceted philosophies in her work. Drawing and painting are acts of “stepping through the looking glass” into another world of joy and fun--right brain stuff- where there is no right or wrong. Creating is her way of communicating with a higher being. As a founding member of Art Focus XC, her work was included in group shows at Museums in Longview, Rockport, Corpus Christy, Odessa, Carlsbad, N.M., J. C. Penney Corporate Headquarters, and Ft. Worth Health Science Center. She has achieved signature status in Southwestern Watercolor Society, Texas Visual Artists and National Watercolor Oklahoma. One person show at Goodrich Gallery and Lester Melnick. Her work is shown at Annual North Dallas Artist Studio Tour in her studio at 11333 North Central Expwy, Studio 119.
