The painting has a distinctive style with a strong use of line that captures both shape and form. Elements of flat color provide a contemporary twist. A softness is present in the use of warm yellows and white infused in a background and foreground of simple geometric shapes.
Looking forward to the soft caress of spring is what inspired this still life. The palette of colors and peaceful nature of the artwork felt like entering into a landscape of something new and adventurous.
I painted this on a gallery wrapped canvas in oils. This is a signed original that comes ready to hang. 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.
