Marthann Masterson Abstract Paintings

American

BIOGRAPHY Marthann Masterson uses her paintings to chronicle her life story, her exploration and transcendence–whether she is creating a representational piece or an abstract dialogue of light, color and space. The artist says her path has been guided by fate. Her creative expression first came in the form of culinary arts. She built a successful career in catering to dignitaries, royalty and even rock stars. But it was when she was asked to run the cafe in the Museum of Fine Arts Houston that her attention was drawn to fine art. Marthann Masterson received formal instruction in painting at the Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Later she was mentored by artist Alfredo Scaroina who introduced abstract techniques to her. In addition she has attended many workshops including studying under Audrey Phillips and twice painting in a workshop in San Miguel de Allende. She also attended the University of Houston, where she studied marketing and public relations. Today, Masterson, a third generation Houstonian, can be found in her studio at the Silos in Sawyer Yards where she has painted for many years. She counts Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock as her influences–and strives to obtain a visual harmony similar to theirs–derived from the juxtaposition of precision and randomness. Both artists have inspired her to explore vibrancy and freedom in her work. Masterson’s paintings have been recognized for their passion, precision and elegance. Recent exhibitions include a group, juried show at the Woman’s New York Caucus of the Art and solo exhibits with Octavia Art Gallery and the Winter Street Studio Gallery, both in Houston. Her piece, “On the Outside” inspired a ballet by the Sarasota Ballet in Florida. The painting won an international competition sponsored through the nonprofit organization Embracing Our Differences and was seen by over 40,000 people. Masterson explains that, for her, art is a visual language, meant to awaken interest and inspire an audience. She uses art to share her emotions, sometimes hidden deeply beneath the surface, and hopes others will find inspiration in her work.

Shadow Dreams

By Marthann Masterson

Located in New Orleans, LA

Marthann Masterson’s abstract paintings are expressions of the energizing force of joy. Masterson has developed an artistic practice where lines of colorful acrylic paint are poured from the top of each canvas one inch apart, combined with mixed media, leaving her signature drip marks at the bottom. In her most recent body of work, Masterson’s application of bold vibrant colors has become more deliberate, exploring a new range of colors without inhibition. Masterson received formal instruction in painting at the Glassell School of Arts, Museum of Fine Arts Houston. The artist has exhibited her work throughout New York, Florida and Texas, where she had a solo exhibition with Octavia Art Gallery...
