I am Martie, a visual artist, a home entrepreneur and a children’s protection advocate living in a beautiful tropical country, the Philippines.
Painting has allowed me to combine motherhood and art, for my work celebrates what I know and love best: my children.
One hand in the story books, the other in the studio, and never going anywhere without a pen and a paper or my digital notebook to jot down an idea or inspiration. Creativity pushes me to become a better mother while motherhood makes my work richer and more meaningful.
Love is the spirit that motivates the artist’s journey. – Eric Maisel
I have always wanted to carve a safe space, a home set apart from the world, seeking and savoring small authentic joys for myself and the people I truly love. Art and creativity should not be limited to paint and a paint brush. Preparing a simple yet delicious meal, arranging beautiful flowers on the dinner table, making safe and all natural substitutes to staples at home are simple crafts I have embraced as art.
