Martha Rich loves words and she really loves language.  Not just any language, but the weird words and funny sayings we all say or catch others saying.  The kind of things that make you laugh or wonder where in the hell that came from. She is a vivacious lady with a contagious smile, plus wit and humor which add up to a true good time gal.

Martha was raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, but we first met her when she was Los Angeles. She attended Art Center College of Design there and befriended Rob and Christian Clayton, who encouraged her in art making.  She went on to teach and do illustration work, before moving back to Philadelphia and getting her masters degree.

She works hard and has a super design sense of direct images that make us smile.

We were happy to have Martha visit us recently here in Fort Davis. West Texas is a magical place and it was special to share it with our friend.

This show was a handful of wood cutouts and windows filled with metal cutouts to hang, sit around or place in your favorite potted plant or garden space.
