Martha Moore
After a fulfilling career in Television broadcast journalism Martha credits her move to the Okanagan Valley, BC followed by Georgian Bay, ON as the motivation behind the shift from interpreting her world through writing to painting. After 11 years in the Okanagan Martha now resides in Ontario and continues to be immersed in art, not only in her studio covered in paint, but as a Board Member of the Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts, Collingwood and Toronto Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists. Her designations include Elected member status of the Society of Canadian Artists (SCA), NAP Contemporary Fine Arts (USA) and the Ontario Society of Artists (OSA). Martha’s paintings can be found in ARTEfunktional (soon relocating to Spain), Mountainside Gallery Inc, Collingwood, Ontario, ARTSY New York, NY and ARTSPER, Paris France.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
“When I paint, I’m totally immersed in the moment and lose many hours focused only on my canvas the marks I make and the feelings they evoke. Beneath layers of texture and colour a story on canvas begins to emerge; apart from any intention on my behalf, often a mystery, and quite arresting in its intensity. I’m very grateful for the ‘stories’ I’m able to create and the connections and pleasure they bring to others.”
