"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

The paintings subtle geometric shapes in the background create a beautiful, framework reminiscent of a patchwork quilt where a sense of connection rises among the variety of colors, shapes and patterns. The palette of colors are fresh. Sophisticated greens and mustard yellows, meet with blues like the sky and those with a more violet persuasion. In another area sandy beach tones bump up to soft pastel pinks and creamy, warm oranges.
The painting was inspired by my love for color, patterns and the beauty in spontaneous experiences. As I approached creating the oil painting I let myself not have a plan and pulled items as well as fabrics into the arrangement as led by my intuition.
I created this painting on a gallery wrapped canvas in oils. It is a signed original that comes wired to hang as is. It can also be framed.

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.
