Medium:
Painting “I'm inspired by everyday life: my family, my friends, my community,” says Martha Case Nemer. “For me, it's not really a decision whether or not to paint — I just have to. It's my creative outlet. It's something I can do by myself or with my grandchildren, and I love seeing what comes out when I sit down with a fresh canvas.”
Beginning with an acrylic/gesso base, Martha’s work evolves into many mediums...such as molding paste, oil pastels, charcoal, pencil, and is often finished in oil to enhance the color.

If you could be any artist in the world, who would you choose to be?
I admire so many artists — musicians, fashion designers, visual artists — and I'm inspired by Picasso. However, I don't think I'd want to BE Picasso.
In terms of your art, where is the most inspirational place you've ever been? Why?
I was recently on vacation in Colorado, and I was so struck by how the mountains change throughout the day. One day, after a storm, we saw the most incredible double rainbow. I've never seen anything like it. It inspired me to try landscapes when I got home, which isn't usually in my comfort zone.
Titles of works can be descriptive or clever or totally unrelated. What's your favorite title of a piece you've named?
"People Say She's Crazy"
I love painting abstract figurative and especially females with attitude. For so many years, and even today, a woman with attitude could be described as "crazy" instead of "creative" or "brilliant" or "determined". I like to use a play on words with my titles and let people make their own interpretations.
