About the Item

Martha Mans lavender gray white blue green yellow peach brown orange framed in brown frame The painting process has been an evolving experience for me from the time I was very young and first started painting in oil until now. Each stage had to be experienced and has led to a deeper understanding of what my expression in paint is all about. Painting traditional realism with good design as an important element was where I began. Now, the evolution of my painting process has brought me to a point in which the subject, the texture of the oil medium and the physical application of the brushstrokes have become profoundly intertwined. All are so necessary to the finished work that if one were to be taken away the work would be left incomplete. My hope is that the synthesis of the subject, design, expressive brush strokes and the texture of the paint come together to create a work of art in which the viewer experiences all of these elements at once in a powerful statement on canvas. “New Mexico is a land of earthy colors and textures. Rocks, dirt, twiggy plants, reds and ochres against blue grays, dry, wet, cold, hot, mostly hard and rough create a movement in visual and tactile rhythms that surround me. There are times when I am standing in the New Mexico landscape on a warm day when I want to lay down and embrace it. I can’t help but be madly in love with the textures of everything around me. I am drawn to the irresistible forces that seem to bring me closer to the earth. The more I experience these textural qualities of the land, the more I am compelled to use them to express what I want to say. “ Martha was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where she attended Carlow University and received a degree in art and art education. Later she studied art at the Maryland Institute College of Art and the University of Southern California. At the beginning of her career she worked as an art teacher and art department head in Maryland and California. After becoming a full-time artist she taught watercolor and oil painting workshops in the United States and abroad. After moving to Colorado she became a master instructor for a branch of the Art Students League in Colorado Springs and then set up her own classes in her studio where she presently teaches on a weekly basis. She was director for many years of large adventure workshops combining painting and exploring. Some of these adventures include Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, where Georgia O’Keefe painted, a yearly excursion on a Clipper Ship in the Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas stopping at many ports to paint and an exciting workshop in Salvador, Brazil, painting the colorful region and people there. It was due to these painting trips on which the artists had to carry around all their painting equipment that she put together a compact painting travel kit that she marketed and that many plein air artists use as they travel to their many painting locations. Martha’s work has been featured in many art publications such as: Southwest Art Magazine, Artist’s Magazine, Watercolor Artist’s Magazine and Art Collector’s Magazine. Her work has been used in several books on painting; “Making Your Watercolors Look Professional,” by Carole Katchen, The Best of Watercolor Series, Rockport, Press, “How to Paint Better Watercolor Paintings,” by Jerald Brommer and Jerald Brommer’s Art Education Posters for High Schools. Her work has received many awards in national juried competitions including numerous best of shows awards. Western Federation of Watercolor Societies, New Mexico Watercolor Society, Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, Rocky Mountain Watercolor Society, Pikes Peak Watercolor Society, Montana Watercolor Society and the Adirondacks National and the San Diego Watercolor Society to name a few. She has been awarded signature membership into the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society. Over her career as an artist she has had the privilege of being able to work with many painting groups and institutions: Instructor of painting at the Jade Fong Watercolor Workshops in Carmel, California Instructor at La Romita School of Art in Umbria, Italy Instructor at Montfacon in Limoux, France Charles Russell Art Auction in Great Falls, Montana, 10 years National Arts Club in New York Salmagundi Club in New York National Academy of Design in New York American Watercolor Society, New York, Signature Member National Watercolor Society, California, Signature Member National Arts Club, New York  Pennsylvania Watercolor Society Western Federation of Watercolor Florida Watercolor Society, convention show juror and instructor Baltimore Watercolor Society Las Posada Painting Group, annual workshop, Green Valley, Arizona Rocky Mountain National Art Exhibition Adirondacks Watercolor Exhibition San Diego Watercolor Society New Mexico Watercolor Society Pikes Peak Watercolor Society Tokyu Gallery Exhibitions, Tokyo, Japan William and Mary College, Williamsburg, VA Summer children’s Art Program Ranchland’s Artist’s Gathering, Nature Conservancy’s Medano/Zapata Ranch, San Luis Valley, Colorado Sheridan College/Spear-O-Wigwam Sheridan Wyoming, Artist’s Gathering Brinton Museum, Big Horn Wyoming, Sheridan College show and small works show Palmer Land Trust, Colorado Springs, CO, First Place Art and Purchase award two years.

Martha Mans

Absolutely! Here's a polished 500-word artist bio for Martha Mans, capturing her philosophy, achievements, and artistic voice: Martha Mans is a master artist whose work in watercolor and oil reflects a deep sensitivity to rhythm, light, and the quiet nuances of nature. Her landscapes—whether inspired by the dramatic mesas of New Mexico or the timeless charm of Italy and France—invite viewers into a world of discovery. She believes that great art begins with observation: the ability to internalize a subject until its essence can be expressed in a way that is entirely personal and unique. For Martha, even the smallest elements—a shift in light, a subtle curve in the land, or the rhythm of foreground shapes—can hold the key to a painting’s soul. Having lived in New Mexico, Martha is intimately familiar with the region’s ever-changing weather and seasonal effects, which cast dramatic light and shadow across mountains and valleys. Her travels throughout Europe have further enriched her palette and perspective, allowing her to immerse herself in the cultural and visual textures of Italy and France. She finds inspiration in fleeting moments—those rare instances when a familiar landmark reveals something new and ephemeral, seen only once and never again. These moments become the heartbeat of her paintings. Martha’s artistic approach is rooted in rhythm, which she treats much like music. Her compositions contain visual “notes”—runs, pauses, repetitions—that guide the viewer through the canvas. She uses shape, line, tonal value, and color to create a sense of movement and emotional resonance, encouraging viewers to linger and uncover layers of meaning that may not be immediately apparent. Her goal is to offer the same sense of discovery she experiences while painting. A graduate of Carlow College in Pittsburgh, PA, Martha pursued further studies at the Maryland Institute of Art and the University of Southern California. Her work has been featured in prestigious exhibitions around the world, including the National Academy of Design in New York, the Tokyu Gallery in Japan, and the Artists in Embassy Program at the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala. She is a signature member of the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society, among others, and has received numerous Best of Show awards and honors, including the Silver Certificate from the San Diego Watercolor Society. Martha is also a sought-after instructor, having led workshops across the United States and internationally in Italy, Turkey, and Brazil. Her work has been featured in publications such as Artist’s Magazine, American Artist, and Southwest Art, as well as in books like Exploring Transparent Watercolor and The Best of Watercolor. Her paintings are held in corporate collections including Mitsubishi Corp., Southwest Bank, and the State of California’s Asilomar Collection. Now based in Colorado Springs, Martha continues to paint, teach, and inspire. Her studio is a place of exploration, where rhythm and light converge to tell stories that are both personal and universal. Through her work, she invites others to see the world not just as it is, but as it might be.
