This playful still life oil painting was inspired by a child-like sense of novelty and wonder. As part of the imagery, the 16" x 20" canvas incorporates an eclectic mix of items, including vintage toys, a box of animal crackers, a red apple, flowers and a vintage scale. A sense of time is reflected through the varied objects that are united in a lively, carousel of bright colors and fun, relatable shapes.

The palette of colors are light hearted and add to the youthful character of the painting. There is a subtle quilt like feeling that emerges from the way the canvas is sectioned off into subtle rectangular shapes that has a way of bringing everything "home" into a unified context.

This painting was so much fun to create. I incorporated things from my own life experience as daughter, mother, and adult who still has a wondrously, playful side to her. Painting is one way that this can be expressed, along with my use of color simplistic shapes.

Ms. Martzloff returned to painting about 15 years ago after some life changes. In that process, she took a risk and departed from her job to create some space for healing.  She focused on raising her daughter and finding new work, while re-committing to her art to see where it might take her.  During this time Catherine had started taking an art class locally focusing on drawing to re-connect with the basics. About a year later, she was encouraged to move into painting by one of her mentors.  Although she was hesitant, it wasn’t long before it became clear this was right where she needed to be.

Quickly, memories returned surrounding the joy in painting. As an art major in college, this is where hours would pass like seconds. This was happening again, even with the frustrations of starting over from what felt like the beginning.  With diligence and commitment she practiced, supplementing classes with drawing and painting in her spare time and by connecting with local artists; shifting between plein-air painting and developing a studio practice.

Ms. Martzloff began showing her drawings and some paintings in 2011 receiving acceptance into a variety of local juried shows which provided affirmation to keep going.  A personal flow emerged that extended from her consistent practice and willingness to move out of comfort zones.  Along the way, a shift occurred in her approach and to how she was seeing things.  The imagery rendered on the canvas became more vibrant and simple with an element of wonder infused into the sophisticated compositions.  

Ms. Martzloff was born in Vancouver, BC and currently lives in New Jersey, USA. She has a small business sitting/boarding dogs and continues to paint daily and sell her artwork around the globe.  She is continually inspired by many masters and loves the Expressionists.  Her desire is to continue to develop paintings that keep the viewer engaged in something beyond the surface.
