Mark Williams and Niki Papadopoulos of Mark Williams Design Associates transformed the entryway and main floor into a sophisticated space filled with spectacular, oversized art, like brilliant paintings by America Martin.

A trip to AMERICA MARTIN’s expansive live/work space reveals a prolific young artist’s flourishing body of work.

“In life we are given a blank canvas of our own. The markings, the strokes, the hues vary depending on each of us. Our truth that lives idly within is freed when we give it a place to find liberation.”

America Martin’s new show explores the themes and subjects dear to the artist’s heart including reclining female nudes and musicians at work.

America Martin lives and breathes art. Painter, sculptor, photographer, printmaker and accomplished writer, when she is not making art, she reads about it and — with infectious joy-talks about it. It all started with a discarded book about Vincent Van Gogh, tossed among the wire hangers and outgrown roller skates at a neighborhood garage sale. With only a quarter to spend the teen settled on the book and fell in love.

Not only does this endearing and talented woman paint, she also creates intricate sculptors as well.
