Oil on Canvas
30" x 40"
A worldwide illustrator and painter who is always looking for new ways to express herself, Marietta enjoys the idea that form isn't required for function, but function and form must coexist. If a viewer takes a few moments to look at and think about a piece she's created, she says she's done her job well.
Her art ranges from abstract, figurative, and still life to portraiture and illustration. "Art would not exist if it did not have the potential to materialize an idea or concept." Her art is a never-ending quest and not bound by any one media.
Each piece she makes is both a continuation of where she's come from and what she's learned in the past, as well as a foreshadowing of the future, as she paints from all aspects of life whether its political, spiritual or personal.
Her Background:
Marietta is a Virginia native who currently resides in Austell, Georgia. She attended Norfolk State University but received her bachelor's degree from the Art Academy of Cincinnati. Additionally, she studied under the late great artist Urself Rasheed and is a member of the Atlanta Artists Club & African Americans for the Arts (AAFTA).
