ARTIST INTERVIEW - Heidi Martin

Tell us about yourself…I am a 30 year fiber artist and Certified punching instructor specializing in color manipulation through my Painting With Wool techniques. I also paint with acrylics and oil and I am a Master Dyer. I compete on a global level. 
 
I have been a member of CBAA for 4 months, and I live in Viera. I am from New Hampshire originally. We moved here to be with family in 2021.
 
1. What is something no one knows about you?
My artistic drive. As Gustav Klimt quoted, " Art is a line around your thoughts." I am always creating my next piece in my head. 
 
2. What's the best art gift you have been given? A charcoal portrait of my son and I hugging I received it a year after he took his life to PTSD.
 
3. What's your preferred subject matter for your art? My artistic preferences literally change day by day. Right now I am fervently content with painting. Last year I was immersed in fiber art. 
 
4. Is there something you'd like to add here? 
I teach my students to love where they are in the process. To excel within themselves, for themselves, and no one else.
