Artist Biography

Mary Martin has painted professionally since 1975 when she returned to St. Dominic in Cornwall after completing her studies at the Royal Academy Schools. "One of Cornwall's most important and best loved artists", Mary has had numerous successful exhibitions. Her eloquent and evocative paintings of narcissi slopes, lush hedgerows, orchards and woods have become synonymous with her native Tamar Valley. Her inspiration also lies in the Cornish coast and moors, and in rural Provence.
