MANDY MARTIN
Painter, Nature Lover, Beauty Hunter
Mandy Martin is an award-winning emerging artist whose work features abstract floral and landscape imagery. She resides in beautiful Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and the wildflowers and rich landscape of the region inform her paintings. Mandy is also a beach lover and enjoys escaping in the winter to lush Caribbean destinations which also inform her color palettes and landscape work.
Mandy’s work has been part of multiple juried exhibitions including at the New Hope Art Center in New Hope, PA; the Annmarie Arts Center in Solomon, MD; and the Banana Factory in Bethlehem, PA.
Her striking paintings are available online as well as at select shows and exhibitions in the mid-Atlantic states, where many of her collectors reside. She welcomes commissions and interior design collaborations.
It is Mandy’s hope that her work will inspire viewers to look more carefully at the world around them, to discover beauty in unexpected places, and to take care of the earth.
