Abby Martin Exhibit this June at FPL

Escape the summer heat and check out the work of Abby Martin at the Friendswood Public Library!

Abby's watercolors of nature and human anatomy are playfully yet profoundly juxtaposed.  Fruits and Vegetables feed our organs while these delightful illustrations feed our whimsy and wonder.

"I'm a self taught painter and have been painting for 4 years.  I'm a mom of five, an avid reader, and a student at Alvin Community College. It was during my Anatomy and Physiology class that I started using art to help me study. I painted the skulls for a project and then couldn't help myself and just kept going."

"I lived 22 years in Alaska and you can find Alaska in my paintings- the forget-me-not flowers around the magic heart, the wild Alaska roses by the hip and the Black Capped Chickadee (a bird that stays all winter and cheers everyone up)."

"The body is fascinating...it is so complex. As I studied I kept thinking I'd found my favorite thing, but then we'd learn something new and I realized the whole body is miraculous and amazing. It's as if our very bodies tell us we are a miracle, that we are important."
