About the artist:

Martha Holden’s large oil paintings are bold, painterly representations of the landscape in the traditions of the plein air masters. Holden’s paintings are as strong visually as any of the paintings of the modernist movements’ masterworks.

Martha Holden is a painter working at the height of her skills. Her collection of canvas’s often references primitivist painting styles. Her art extends Fauvism and establishes her modernist credentials. Holden’s paintings in traditional oil techniques, applying dynamic hues in contrasting color schemes, evoke the powerful and colorful paintings of the Fauvist master painters. A prolific artist, she has sold work through Corcoran and many of the fine art contemporary art galleries across the country and internationally. Trained classically at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, her deft brushstrokes fill fine art canvases in her West Adams District artist studio daily.
