Braun, Martha

Over the years, Martha Braun believes she has found herself in her art and while she will always experiment, as is the case with all great painters, she now feels at home with the evolution of her work. Through the many years she worked as an interior designer, surrounded with color, texture and composition involving the challenge of creating beauty and excitement by combining those elements, this has sharpened her senses and has influenced how she paints today. Since she paints in layers using glazes and handmade papers along with the paint and other mediums, Braun is constantly concerned with how these elements interact with one another in much the same way as when she was designing a house. She's always questioning if the elements of the painting are working together and if they are not!
