Hi there, I'm Hope Martin, an artist based in Columbia. I've been honing my skills in the mediums of soft pastels and charcoal for over 10 years. Before delving into the world of fine art, I had a background in graphic design. My deep desire to be there for my kids led me to step away from the corporate world. Spending time outdoors with my children reignited a spark within me – a passion for art and nature that I thought I had lost. It was a transformative experience that inspired me to blend my love for nature with my design skills and a methodical artistic process. Now, I create artwork that explores the vibrant colors and intricate details I find in the world around me. Each stroke of pastel or charcoal on the paper is infused with my deep connection to nature's beauty. It's more than just a profession; it's a way for me to express my profound awe and appreciation for the wonders of the environment.
