Marti Profitt

Medium:
Painting “I value the simple, the mundane and the ephemera of the morning paintings,” says Marti Profitt. “Being a teacher, it is striking to me how much one learns and how effortless it seems when we invest our time in a daily practice.”
Marti paints in the mornings before going to work. She paints small bouquets of flowers in acrylic on small hardwood boards or small landscapes.
“It is a ritual and a meditation. I have always enjoyed making and problem solving. I am inspired by challenging myself and by process. I guess I am trying to understand why I am so drawn to the making.”
