Martha Grady, Artist

My passion is to create and share life’s beauty through fine art.  Simple rather than complex, evoking emotion, transcending time and place, and memorable. Claude Monet captures this shared sentiment in his quote,

“Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.”

(19th century French Impressionist Painter)

Mastery in multiple mediums gives me the ability to offer a variety of fine art in oil painting, watercolor, pastel, and forms of drawing including charcoal & conte, pencil, and pen. These mediums are as varied as I am and this variety inspires me to keep a fresh perspective. Notice the beauty around; elements cloaked in light, color, shadows, and reflections create dramatic compositions. These natural compositions inspire my imagination, developing conceptually creative works, while intuitively grasping moments, memories, and emotion.

A native Southern Californian, my art reflects moments of life experiences and surroundings. Love of nature and the outdoors, an active and athletic lifestyle, travel, and a spiritual connection inspires me to live joyfully and thankfully in the moment. I am honored to share my fine art with you! Enjoy!
