MARTI BLADSOE
)
Marti Bledsoe received her initial art instruction and life long mentoring from her aunt, Rosalie Heacock, a plein aire artist in Southern California, where Marti grew up. After her early introduction to oil painting, at the age of ten, she continued to express her love of creativity while living in Arizona and New York. She went on to study art at Auburn University and University of Texas in El Paso, but not before she experienced the colorful culture and scenery of Turkey, where she lived for 3 years. These early experiences led her to explore color and design as a stained- glass artist and jewelry designer, texture and form as a potter, and illusion of space as a wall muralist and through painting miniatures. Now she works in watercolor, oil, acrylic, and dry fresco (fresco seco), often mixing these mediums with fresh new inspiration. She is currently involved in creating one of a kind prints, or monoprints, using a printmaking process called Reductive Ink. Marti’s willingness to share her creativity and teach many of these mediums has given her the opportunity to do commissions, exhibit in galleries, public and private exhibitions, and sell to private collectors.
