Martha Trethewey is a self-taught artist with a background in teaching the humanities. Martha’s foundational creative pursuit, calligraphy, has informed her work as a painter and artist. Constantly looking for the impact of line and mark-making on the landscape, Martha’s work investigates the language between man and the natural world.
With an interest in found and antique textiles, film photography, and point pen lettering, Martha aims to remove as much digital influence as possible. This return to analog processes serves as an act of resistance in a world consumed by immediacy and waste. By working in opposition to current trends of production, elements of chance and imperfection are introduced to the final works.
Martha lives and works out of Atlanta, Georgia after years of living and teaching in Ann Arbor, Honolulu, Charleston, and Fort Lauderdale. She is constantly experiencing the world through the eyes of her husband, two children, and loving rescue hound.
