Additionally, I am overjoyed to have two captivating pieces featured in the Nature View art show, which is currently gracing both the Daniel Stowe and Bliss Gallery. It's a privilege to be part of this celebration of nature's beauty alongside other talented artists.

Furthermore, my art continues to grace the walls of the esteemed "Social Cork Wine Bar Fort Mill," providing patrons with a visual feast to complement their culinary experiences.***These Beauties are ready for you to view and adorn your space

In another exciting development, I am humbled to be recognized as the Artist of the Month at the Mercantile in Rock Hill. This recognition serves as a testament to my dedication to the craft and inspires me to continue pushing the boundaries of my creativity.

As if that weren't enough excitement, I am delighted to announce that a couple of my prized pieces have found a new home at the prestigious Gaston History Museum. This marks a significant milestone in my artistic journey, and I am deeply honored to have my work showcased in such a distinguished setting.

Looking ahead, I'm excited to announce a collaboration with the esteemed "Indio Iris Flower Farm" for a spring watercolor workshop on April 16th. This promises to be a truly enchanting experience, surrounded by the vibrant blooms of spring in the picturesque setting of the farm.

And finally, stay tuned for more exciting updates coming this spring. There are numerous projects and collaborations in the works that I can't wait to share with you all.

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for my art. Together, let's continue to explore the boundless possibilities of creativity.

Blooms of Knowledge at Indigo Iris Flower Farms and the LOOM: Spring blossomed with workshops held amid the colorful blooms of Indigo Iris Flower Farms and the inspiring setting

of the LOOM. Participants immersed themselves in the beauty of nature, translating it onto their canvases.

Gallery Showings: Martha's art found homes in prestigious galleries, including Daniel Stowe, Matthews Art Center, Bliss Gallery, Charlotte Artist Guild, and the Rock Hill Art Center. Each exhibition showcased the evolution and diversity of her artistic expression.

Artwork on Display: From the Mercantile to the Jingle Bell Bazar and Chester Arts Center, Martha's artwork adorned various spaces, offering patrons the opportunity to bring a piece of her creativity into their lives.

Commissions and Collaborations: The year saw Martha undertaking several commissions, adding personalized touches to her portfolio. Joining artist groups like the Gaston Artist Plein
